HOME ECONOMICS
PRINCIPLES OF GARDENING
SOME HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
Some nspects of gardening, withspecial reference to tho growing ofvegetables, formed tho subject at thomonthly demonstration-lecture givento members of tho Auckland HomoService Association, in the SeddonTechnical College last evening. Thopresident, Miss B. Carnachan, intro-duced tho speaker, Mr. B. M. Davis,head of tho agricultural department ofthe Technical College.
In discussing the correct time forplanting vegetables, Mr. Davis saidthere was no definite time. Tho guidingprinciple should bo to try and plantwhen the growth would bo unchecked.This applied more particularly to thegrowing of tomatoes. The two essentialsnecessary for the success of early plant-ing were the condition of the soil andshelter from the winds. Mr. Davis dis-cussed fully tho preparation of the bed,explaining the draining of the soil andthe importance of digging in all wastematerial to provide the essential plantfood, nitrogen. The roots of the plants,he said, should always be left in thesoil for the use of the next crops. Tobe satisfactory, the seed bed shouldhave firmness and fineness of soil anda freedom from weeds. It was fatal tocrops, he said, to prepare the beds ina hurry
Much helpful advice was given as tothe correct method of planting and thetreatment of the various crops in theirearly stages of growth. Watering witha hose was to be avoide'd if possible.If mulching were properly carried out,enough moisture would be retained inthe ground to carry tho crops througha dry season. If, however, wateringwere done, it should be done thor-oughly, then more mulching applied.A smattering of water was harmful tomost crops, Mr. Davis said.
The various groups of fertilisers andtheir actions on different soils and cropswere fully explained by the lecturer,who advised the use of nitrate of sodaor sulphate of potash, in the proportionof two teaspoonfulg to a bucket ofwater for the forcing of lettuce plants,the solution to be applied to the roots,not to the foliage of tho plants.
THE STUDY OF TREES
MEETING OF SKETCH CLUB
At a well-attended meeting of theAuckland Society of Arts Sketch Clubheld last evening, Mr. John Weeksgave an illuminating talk on the draw-ing and painting of trees. The speakerwas introduced by Mr., E. Wadbank,chairman of the Sketch Club. Mr.Weeks criticised a large number ofstudies in various mediums exhibited bythe members.
The necessity was stressed by thespeaker for an exhaustive study of theanatomical form of trees, which were,he said, one of the most difficult ofsubjects for successful treatment. Itwas easy to get an effect, but a goodfailure which showed some vitality anda knowledge of the lines of growthand structure was better than an ap-proximation of form and superficial at-tractiveness. Knowledge was most es-sential, said Mr. Weeks, and this could-only bo obtained by very close observa-tion and by many studies in pencil be-fore committing "the subject to colour,it was possible to draw and paint with-out doing any real study, and it waspossible to do real study without touch-ing the pencil and brush. Only accumu-lated knowledge would make for suc-cessful work, and this knowledge wouldalways show in the result.
Drawing was as essential with thebrush as with tho pencil, said thespeaker, and every stroke should revealboth powers of draughtsmanship andvital feeling for form, tone and colourAcademic study was necessary and evenmodern painters who elected to paintfrom different points of view had under-gone a very severe training in purelvnaturalistic representation.
Mr. Weeks concluded his address withan interesting comparison by means ofreproductions of tho similarity in fun-damentals between old and modernmasters.

A DAY AT HOWICK
ARTS AND CRAFTS CIRCLE
A delightful day was spoilt by tlicArts nnd Crafts Circle of "tho LyceumClub yesterday, when they were theguests' of Mrs. Morley Bell at her pic-turcsquo homo at Howick. Tho partymiinhered between 40 and 50, whoeither went by specially chartered busor else in their own motor-cars, thedrive through ojten, green-clad countrybeing not tho least part of tho pleasureof the outing. On arrival at Howick tlicywere cordially welcomed by Mrs. Mor-ley Bell and before going in for luncha tour of tho garden was made. Brightborders of ranunculi, magnificent pop-pies and sweet-scented stock, beds ofgolden and purple pansies, polyanthi,primroses and vari-coloured ixias weremuch admired and winding, tree-shaded paths that led to the flat belowwere explored with enthusiasm by thovisitors. From tho wide, glassed-inverndahs, where many of. them laterensconced themselves, a wonderful viewof the Waitemata Harbour presenteditself, with drifts of mist every nowand again breaking the opaque bluo-ness of its colouring.
In tho house, following lunch, an-other tour of exploration was madeand many treasures in tho form ofold china, porcelains, period furniture,crystal and tapestry work were shownher visitors by Mrs. Bell. The needle-work, which was really wonderful, wasdone by herself and included chair-backs, panels, stool and cushion coversin tapestry stitch. A magnificent pieceof work was a richlv-coloured replicaof tho Australian coat of arms intapestry stitch.and tiny beading, andanother fine piece was a copy, also intapestry stitch, of the famous "Laugh-ing Cavalier." A beautiful mahoganybedroom suite, more than 200 yearsold, was immensely admired, and ele-gantly graceful Louis XV. chairscentered further interest. Two "Wog-gitv wall" clocks of ancient Scottishorigin were another attraction, and abeautifully shaped octagonal work-table, whose secret drawers invited ex-ploration, held tho attention of many.
Some very rare pieces of china —
Dresden, Stafford, Worcester, Limoges,Sevres and Chinese—were of special in-terest. One of the most outstandingpieces was a majolica punch bowl, theoutside being of a beautiful rich blueornamented with red-berried hollysprays, and the inside of the bowl arich cream. Underneath it and sup-porting its weight was the prostratefigure of Punch himself. Pomade jarsused by the sprightly beaux of a muchmore picturesque period than the pres-ent were admired for the beauty oftheir shape, their design and pearlycolouring.
During the afternoon tea intervalDr. Gladys Rowley, convenor of theArts and Crafts Circle, made a pres-entation to Mrs. Bell of a box of seedsas an appreciation from the circle ofher hospitality.
Among those present were:—Mrs.Hammond Hyde (lion, secretary),Mesdames T. M. MacDonald, Metcalfe,Harold Owers, Harrison. Pilkington,Clifton Lewis, Worrall, Heaney, Bur-bush, W. Beaumont.

Page, Dominion president, presided,and, following devotions, various greet-ings ami apologies were read. Thepresident welcomed the visiting dele-gates and other ladies present, and MissYoung presented greetings from sisterorganisations.
The Rev. H. A. .Tones, missionary onfurlough, and the Rev. Royston Brown,missionary designate, received thegreetings of the meeting, to which eachreplied. An address was given bv Mrs.H. A. Jones, who spoke of India as theland of temples and described thedifferent forms of worship that werepractised there.
The work of the rescue homo atBrahmanbariji was the topic of anaddress given by Miss Eileen Arnold,another missionary on furlough. In atelling manner the speaker describedthe different methods of rescue workcarried out there, also the pitiful con-dition of the babies when rescued. Shealso spoke of the general improvementin health that took place in most casesas tlie.v responded to the treatment inthe home and, as they grew older, toChristian teaching.
Mrs. H. H. Driver, in farewelling Dr.Nola Ivory prior to her early return toIndia, asked her to accept a gift fromthe, lady delegates, while Mrs. J. K.Archer, on behalf of the Canterburyladies, asked Dr. Ivory to accept moneyto purchase an instrument she requiredfor her hospital work.

EUROPEAN TOUR
GERMANY'S OUTDOOR WOMEN
After a 10 months' holiday tour inEurope and India, Miss Patricia Hunt,of Christchurch, arrived at Aucklandyesterday by the Aorangi, leavingalmost immediately for the SouthIsland. M iss Hunt, who left Christ-church in December, was accompaniedfor part of her tour by Miss Mary Scho-field, also of Christchurch, who laterreturned to London to carry on hertraining as an obstetrician.
M i*s Hunt said she was greatly im-pressed by her visit to Germany, whereshe sjjent some weeks. She was ratheramazed, however, at the almost fanat-ical worship of sport and physical fit-
ness that prevailed among both men andwomen. There were a number ofwomen's gymnasiums all perfectly fittedwith the latest athletic contrivances.The German women took their sportvery seriously indeed, and those takingpart in any competitions or athletic dis-plays seemed to live a lii' 9 of almostspartan simplicity. In appearance theGerman girls resembled very closely theout-door Australian or New Zealandgirl, except that they seemed morestrongly built and plumper. Even theslimmer German girls, who were veryattractive, had broad and very straightshoulders. The outdoor German womanor girl, even though she worked in anoffice or house for most of the day, pos-sessed a deeply tanned complexion.
German girls and young women werenot nearly as extravagant in theirclothes as were New Zealand girls, saidMiss Hunt. For summer, coarse whitelinen coats and skirts, very tightlyfitting, seemed to be an almost uniformchoice with very simply tailored sportsfrocks of washing materials in white orpastel colours. Among these youngerpeople the prevailing fashion in summer, Ieven for street wear, was to go stocking-less. German women and girls, of every jclass and of every age, were particu- ilarly proud of their thick, fine hair,and kept it faultlessly brushed and jwashed.

AN ANCIENT CRAFT
WEAVING AND SPINNING
"SPEAR OR SPINDLE"BV CHHISTINK CAMERON
The woman singeth at the spinning wheelA pleasant chant, ballad or barcarolle,She thinketh of the song, upon the wholeFar more than of her flax; and yet the reelIs full, and artfully her fingers feelWith quick adjustment, provident controlThe lines, too subtly twisted to unrollOut of a perfect thread.
—E. 11. Ilrovvning.
This subject has been dealt with ex-pertly before in this page and in sucha practical manner that it is unneces-sary for me to go into the workingdetails of this ancient craft. But ithas a great claim among the handi-crafts, and therefore, we will includeit in our talk, dealing with it moreon a historical basis. It is wonderfulto work as the people of old did andlearn ftgain to make a bit of clothfrom the wool, straight from the sheep'sback to the web of stuff ready to use.The twelve processes of this art re-main practically the same to this day.As a home industry it has few equalsand the revival of spinning and weav-ing in these days of commercialism issurely an acknowledgment of itscharm and worth. These twelve pro-cesses are:—Scouring, dyeing, teasing,oiling, carding, spinning, winding intoballs, warp making, setting up, bobbinwinding, weaving and waulking.
A Spindle for Eve"Materialism has stolen many of
our ancient joys and privileges, ourtraditions of dress, food, craft and
.amusements (not to speak of yetnobler things), and it is women,mainly, who will have to fight for themand recapture them for the world, ifthey are ever to be brought backagain. Women must reconquer theancient crafts of the home, remakingthe home the centre of ereativenessand pleasure." The above is found ina delightful little book which I havebeen reading and it describes the aimsof all true handcraft workers so trulythat I could not resist quoting it. Inthe Middle Ages, when people spokeof a relationship they would say, "Isit 011 the spear side or on the spindleside:-" so showing how a woman wasidentified with her spindle. Everywoman was a spinster first and becamethe weaver when she married. Art inits many forms has always delightedin portraying this ancient craft. InGreek mythology the Fates who gov-erned the life of man were spinnersand in old pictures God is shown asgiving, in pity and succour, a spadeto Adam and a spindle to Eve. AlsoTheocritus says. "A distaff, friend towarp and woof Minerva's gift in man'sbehoof."
Craft With TraditionsAppreciation grows for home weav-
ing and ' slowly but surely morepeople of taste are asking for homowoven fabric, recognising it as the pro-duct of an art that has been wrappedup with the traditions of the hoiae inevery country the world over. Latelyartists started to show the modernpeople of "the twentieth century justhow beautiful weaving could be, andits popularity has grown, until now thehome woven scarfs are quite the mostfashionable accessory for wear witljsweaters and sports suits. There is alsoa good demand for workbags withlovely colouring and quaint stitches forcurtains and luncheon sets, and, ofcourse, hand-woven rugs and carpetsare most beautiful ami enduring.
Weaving offers a practical means fora livelihood to women who, because oflittle children or illness in the family,cannot leave home. The .loom is thelargest expense, but the materials areall inexpensive and easily obtained.Carefully-executed woven articles willfind ready sale, and the articles soldcould easily pay for the loom in threeor four months. I would stress care-fully-worked articles, for this craft re-quires study, care and patience. Itoffers an unlimited field in the combina-tion of colour and for those whosecolour sense is not so keen, designs canbe obtained and plain materials woven.Weaving is also used with great suc-cess in dealing with nervous disordersand for defectives. This is becomingrecognised in rest institutions, andshould be more widely used.
Beauty and UtilityThe materials required can be had
in great variety. Perle cotton, wool(not necessarily specially prepared wool,but knitting yarn), Shetland floss,etc., all are familiar to the knitter.Silk can bo used with the wool oralone. Pattern weaving opens a muchlarger field, and anyone who hasmastered, the first principles can con-tinue into the wider field of patternweaving and tapestry work. Every-thing used about the doing of thiscraft is picturesque—the loom, thetraditional spinning wheel, and theboat-shaped shuttlo, all please thosewho love beauty, and when beauty isallied to utility, the worker is happyindeed. For those who desire a quiet,but absorbing, handicraft, weaving isideal. They can put individual thoughtinto fabric, tapestry or carpets andgive themselves unending pleasure inthe creating and giving of hand-wovengoods.

AUGUST BUSINESS
ACTIVITY MAINTAINED
EXTERNAL TRADING BRISK
IMPORTS REACH HIGH LEVEL
A very favourable state of activityin genera] in usually the slackestperiod of the year is indicated by busi-ness statistics for tlio month ofAugust, states the Abstract of Statis-tics for September. External tradingin commodities was abnormally brisk,both imports and exports showingmarked advances over previous years.Tho buoyancy in imports, which hasbeen n feature of recent months, cul-minated in ii total of £3,997,2-10 inAugust, a figure which has seldom beenexceeded.
• The value of imports in August wasthe highest total in any individualmonth since August, 1930. Exportswere also abnormally buoyant for anAugust month. Although there .was asubstantial decrease from July, follow-ing tho normal seasonal trend, thoAugust total of £3,149,089 is actuallytho highest recorded for August since1920.
As a consequence of the exception-ally high value of imports, an excessof imports of £847,557 emerged in re-spect of external trading in commodi-ties during August. An excess ofimports is almost invariably recordedduring this month, in which exportsapproach, and at times reach, theirlowest seasonal point for the year. Theexcess of imports in August of the lastthree years was as follows: —1930,£847,000; 1935, £740,000;" 1934.£152,000. In 1933 an actual excess ofexports of £192,000 was recorded, im-ports beitijj; stdl at slump levels; whilein August, 1930, an excess of importsof as much as £2,310,000 was disclosed.
Tho Live Stock Division of the De-partment of Agriculture reports thaton the whole the weather in Augustwas not as severe as during the samemonth of last year, although heavyrains fell in parts of tho Dominion.There was no shortage of feed, througha good spring growth of pastures, andsupplies of supplementary feed beingavailable. Generally speaking stockwintered well, and are in good healthand condition. Lambing is well for-ward, conditions being on the wholegood, although losses occurred in theManawatu district.
The farm' production season willopen with epiito favourable prospects.Prices of meats and wool promise tobe satisfactory, while tho recession of
dairy produce prices from re-cent high levels is not likely to causematerial concern to farmers in viewof the operation of the guaranteedprices plan. Present indications pointto a fruitful year in respect of volumeof farm production.

SHIPPING OUTLOOK
EXPANSION IN TRADE
CONFIDENCE INCREASING
NEW ZEALAND'S CONTRACT
The New Zealand Government's fillip-ping freight contract with four Britishshipping companies, .which came intooperation last month, has attracted con-siderable attention overseas, particu-larly from an investment point ofview. "With increasing internationaltrade those seeking to place funds withsome opportunity of a capital apprecia-tion are showing renewed confidence inleading shipping shares. Commentingon the outlook for this class of in-vestment the Financial News says thatin the long view it is difficult to be-lieve that there will be jio recoveryand a relatively small recovery willhave considerable effects.
The carriage of the Dominion'sproduce for a period of three years isstated to be the world's largest singleshipping freight contract and, import-ant from the investors' point of view,tho rates represent a riso of 2} percent on the terms of tho late con-tract. The estimated value of thecontract is £3,005,000 a. year for itsduration. Tne four British concernsinvolved are subsidiaries of tho Vesteygroup, Cunard, P. and O. and Fur-ness Withy.
Of these the most active shares ontho New Zealand market are P. and0. deferred stock, tho market priceof which is now around 335, as against19s in September, 1931, and £3 2s 6dearly in 1929.
Another favourable factor to whichattention lias been drawn is the rapiddevelopment of New Zealand's tradewith Britain. A few years ago shipswere obliged to come to tho Dominionin ballast in order to fulfil their con-tract to transport produce Home. Re-cent expansion of trade, however, hasresulted in the construction in Britainwithin the last three years of 16 cargoliners for tho Dominion service. Thelatest contract does not, of course, in-clude British exports to New Zealand,but, thanks to general trade recovery,these are now rising rapidly. This ismost clearly demonstrated, as the Timesmentions, by the fact that within lastyear New Zealand has become Britain'sbiggest customer for motor-cars.

TARANAKI OIL FIELDS
COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT
A CALL ON SHARESThe work carried out in New Zealand
has been reduced to the minimum, con-sistent with the proper care of plantand equipment and the maintenance ofoilrights over areas which areconsideredto be of interest in the light of geologi-cal survey, states the annual report ofTaranaki (N.Z.) Oil Fields, No Lia-bility, Melbourne.
Since the previous report there havebeen further conversations with theoverseas interests with whom themanaging director, Sir Colin Eraser,made contact while abroad. At thepresent time hopes are entertnined bythe directors that these negotiationswill before long bo brought to a suc-cessful conclusion and result in the re-sumption of active drilling in the Do-minion. Shareholders will be furtheradvised as soon as it is possible to use-fullv add to this statement.
The directors state that the Nos. 1,2 and 3 wells of Moturoa Oil Fields,Limited, in which the Taranaki com-pany holds 86,400 shares, have beenin continuous oil production. Theirtotal output at June 30 was as fol-lows:—No. 1 well, 23,513 gallons; No.2, 761,926 gallons; No. 3, 115,798 gal-lons.
The Moturoa company, in January,paida dividend at the rate of 6 per cent perannum upon its preference capital in re-spect of the two years ended August31, 1934. The directors continue to actwithout fees, and all administrativecharges have been reduced to the mini-mum. '
Shareholders have received formalnotice of a call of Id a share, makingthe issued shares paid to 24s 7d each,payable on November 11, 1936. The pro-coeds of this call will be used to meetthe cost involved in - servicing the com-pany's plant and protecting its oilrights, pending completion of thenegotiations.
The retiring director, Sir WalterMassy-Greene, is offering himself forre-election at the annual meeting.
The accounts for the year endedApril 30 show that a debit of £5lB wasincurred in the profit and loss account,compared with £799 last year and £494in _1934. Paid capital is unaltered at£577,510. External creditors are owed£2242, against £2279 last year.

AUSTRALIAN FLOURMARKET IN MANCHUKUO
It is reported by tho Domei Agency,Tokio, that Japanese millers arealarmed at, and are cogitating measuresto checkmate, the inroads Australianflour is making into Manchukuo. TheAustralian trade is flourishing, in spiteof tho embargo imposed under theTrade Control law passed in August.
The Domei Agency says the methodadopted by the trade is for Australianflour to be repacked in Shanghai, orthe Australian wheat is milled atShanghai, from where it is re-exportedto Manchukuo, which imported 220,000sacks of Shanghai flour during 1935,but only 4:5,000 sacks in the first halfof 19:56. Nevertheless, Manchukuo hasimported, or has contracted to import,500,000 sacks since the embargo. Thoagency adds that Japanese flour inter-ests want drastic action taken, butare doubtful if Manchukuo will agreeto anything further.
SKILLED LABOUR SCARCEDIFFICULTY IN AUSTRALIA
Tho scarcity of skilled labour wasreferred to by Sir James Murdoch,chairman of directors of Murdochs,Limited, outfitters, Sydney, at theannual meeting recently. He said thataccording to reports the same difficultywas being experienced in New Zealand.
The company had spent hundreds ofpounds in advertising for workers, andwas doing its utmost to train them,but they were spending, more than theymade. It was tho hardest thing in thoworld to get skilled workers. Sir Jamessuggested that the State Governmentmight organise a system of relief.
Although the results of tho past yearwere satisfactory in a degree, they werevery unsatisfactory, when it was con-sidered that the company had fallenbelow its profits of the previous year,added Sir James. Trade was still verydifficult, and, although in somebranches industry had shown a markedrecovery, trade in men's wear had notparticipated. Ho said that the com-pany had had some slight relief fromtaxation, but nothing tangible.

MINING NEWS
TRANSVAAL'S EECORD
USE OF LOW GRADE ORES
FAVOURABLE TAXATION SYSTEM
The July gold production of theTransvaal reached the highest levelsince May, 1983, 919.(300 ounces, worth£6,576,608, having been produced bythe 8S large gold mines of,the province.The July figures show an increase of23,828 ounces, worth £165,008, overthe Juno returns, the average dailyoutput of the Witwatersrand minesbeing 35,173.7 ounces.
This new record is the more remark- .
able as it has not been achieved byincreasing the average grade of oremined, but by increasing; the crushingcapacity of the mines. Whereas a com-paratively high grade of ore was beingmilled in 1933, just after South Africaabandoned the gold standard,, the pre-sent taxation system favours low grademilling. The mines, by utilising other-wise uneconomical low grade ore bodiesand by sending more ore through themills, are making steady progress andare increasing their contributionstoward the wealth of South Africa.
'1 wo borehole gold strikes of theutmost importance have been reportedby West Witwatersrand Areas, Limited.A new carbon rich reef has been inter-sected in both boreholes, showing satis-,factory values. This new reef will beof great economic value to the wholeof the area. It has been decided tocall this new occurs inthe immediate vicinity of the Main Reefseries, the Carbon Leader.
YIELDS OF COMPANIESNokomai (Central Otago).—A wash-
up of the last paddock, which wasslightly under oue-eigh:h of an acre, »
or 18,542 cubic yards, resulted in a re-turn of 47Soz. 6dwt. This was obtainedafter nine weeks' work, and it is anti-cipated that a further small return -willcome to hand within a few days, whenthe final cleaning up is done.
Lpper Watut (New Guinea).—130oz.for 15,400 yards.
Antonio's Hydraulic (Reefton).—soz.Gdwt. for about 2000 yards since opera-tions commenced.
Okarito (South Wsstland). —16oz.lldwt. for 132 hours.
l'imu (West Coast).—237.850z. crudegold for 132 hours and 60,138yd5.
BUNDI DIVIDENDS EXPECTEDThe directors of the Eundi Tin Dredg-
ing Company, X.L.. which is dredgingfor gold on the Wcsi; Coast, haveissued a circular stating that since thedirectors' report was presented inMarch, 2059 ounces of bullion havebeen recovered from 684,900 cubic yardsin an unbored flat between the twobored areas. Because of heavy renewalsthese recoveries did not cover workingcosts. It is proposed now to dig richerground in Chinaman's Terrace, wherecheck boring Las shown the existenceof 1,679,000 cubic yards and valuesaveraging 5.54gr. a cubic yard. Thedifference between these values andthose now being "rg'&igjjred, 1.44gr. acubic yard, the directors state, isenough to justify the expectation thatthe recovery from Chinaman's Terracewill prove high enough to warrant thepayment of regular dividends.
For the expenditure on a dam to liftthe dredge to the terrace, and to meetlocal liabilities the board has made acall of 2s a share. It is expected thatthe proceeds will be enough to mfet
| all requirements up to the point ofI recovering the higher values of the ter-I race, which the dredge is expected toi reach in about 19 weeks.i
CENTRAL SHOTOVER CLAIMThe annual meeting of shareholders
of the Central Shotcver Gold MiningCompany, Limited (Otago), was helain Dunedin last week. Mr. G. Thomp-son presided.

It was decided to confirm the actionof the directors in placing; a manageron the claim to work it.
ANTONIO'S HYDRAULIC AFFAIRSSluicing was commenced by Antonio's
Hydraulic Elevating Company, Limi-ted (Reefton), on September 1. Thecompany has a subscribed capital of£13.000. Operations have h*een confinedto the opening out of a paddock in thecreek bed, where the elevator is situ-ated. All this work has been in groundpreviously hand-worked by the earlydiggers, whose timlier work, tailings,etc., greatly hindered operations, . be-sides which floods prevented work for
j several days on end. The suction pipesare now clear of the creek and floods,and the ground unworked by old minersshould bo reached before the end ofthis month.

A BOOKSELLER'S OBSERVATIONS
Every, business provides its owninteresting contacts with life, butsurely nono is more rich in materialfor tho study of changing thought andtastes of tho community than theoccupation of a bookseller. So thoobservations of a citizen who has beenassociated with tho book trade inAuckland for nearly half a centuryhave more than passing significance.
The bookseller's business, like theliftman's, has many nps and downs.Times of real difficulty, are encounteredand there are many disappointments,but compensations come in unexpected■ways, and means are found of over-coming the difficulties. It is signifi-cant, however, of the general positionthat few new bookshops have enteredinto business in the city for many along day.

be noted by thoso in the trade is thegradual disappearance of tho genuinebook-lover, the connoisseur in literature■who delighted to find and possess agood book, whatever its period or coun-try of origin. There used to bo manyretired or elderly professional men whosteadily built up libraries that were areflection of their intellectual tastes andindividuality. As they pass away theyare not being replaced, and so theirnumber steadily declines.
Many factors have contributed to thisjend. Obviously in tho first place therebave been the distracting influences ofthe gramophone and the moving pic-tures, the radio and tho motor-car. Anincalculable amount of time and moneymust liavo been diverted from thepleasures of reading to these moromodern, and perhaps iess intellectuallyexacting, forms of entertainment.
But that is by no means all. It wassurprising to learn from the veteran oftho trade already referred to that tholand speculation boom made seriousinroads on the book trado about 15Tears ago. It became the fashion foreverybody to purchase holiday sections,mostly on time payment, and one ofthe most popular forms of saving to jmeet this npw expenditure was to denyoneself books.
Even Shakespeare NeglectedMore recently there has come to check
tho activities of bcok-lovers the higherprices of books brought about by thohigh rate of exchange. The recentdepression affected tho book trade veryadversely.
All this has meant a definite turningaway from the classics that have con-tributed so richly to the culture of thepast. Emerson and Euskin, for in-stance, have almost completely dis-appeared from the shelves, Carlyle andGeorge Meredith cannot be sold, andeven the supremo Shakespeare, for solong a "bread and butter line" for thebooltseller, has suffered an eclipse.
Curiously enough there is practicallyno dcinancl now for cheap editions ofnovels in the experience of this book-seller. Their plac>3 has largely beentaken by the cheap magazine, whosename is legion. An effect of the depres-sion has been 1:o turn many readersto make -increased nse of lendinglibraries; and a number of libraries inassociation -with bookshops have beenset up to meet this demand.
Dominion LiteratureThere has been a definite develop-
ment in New Zealand literature latelyboth in pro6e and in poetry, though forthe most part tho work is undistin-guished, and no successor to CatherineMansfield has arisen in the realm of theshort story. For a good New Zealandstory there is a good local market.There has been a revival in interest inNew Zealand history, and the workof the early missionaries has provideda good deal of popular material of thiskind..
One result of the depression was tocreate a marked interest in economicand social literature. It seemed thatpeople we're trying; to find out whatreally was the matter with the -world,and were turning to economists forsome light on the subject. Still mororecently there has been a markedtrend toward religious literature, atrend for which the Oxford groupmovement, with its strong array of in-terpreters and critics, has been largelyresponsible.
Books' as PresentsSpeaking generally, the chief demand
for books now is for use as presents;and so it comes about that in themonth before Christmas, about threetimes as many books are sold as in anyother month of the year.
The bookseller closed on a somewhatmore optimistic note. In his opinionthe standard of literature, especially infiction, has definitely improved, and itis becoming higher every year. Ihewriters of to-day include a number ofreally first-rate m€:n, and the fact thatthe cheap Penguin library of good re-prints has sold millions in Englandshows that there is still a demand forwhat is good. It has to be admitted,however, that in the enormous outputof mediocre and poor books, a reallygood one has a harder fight than everfor survival. The new hours of leisureoffer fresh hope for the book trado,but it Temains to be seen how thosehours will be employed.

SPRING RACINGAUCKLAND FORMATTRACTIVE EFFORTS
GALLIO WINS DECISIVELY
FLOOD TIDE'S GOOD STAMINA
PROSPECTS OF FRANCIS DRAKEBY ARCHER
•' An indication that the AucklandPacing Club is likely to experience aprosperous season was furnished by thesuccess which attended the springmeeting at F.llerslie on Saturday andMonday. The attendances and thetotalisator investments showed a veryhealthy increase and the result wasmost satisfactory. The working of thenew dividend indicator on the mainface of the totalisator was watchedwith, interest and met with fairly gen-eral approval. The racing was of ahigh standard and some very attrac-tive performances were witnessed inspite of, the fact that rain in themorning rendered the track a littleslow each day.
The easy manner in which Galliovanquished his opponents in the. GreatNorthern Guineas left no. doubt ns tohis superiority and all going well itwill take a good one to'bring about hisdefeat in any of the season's three-year-old classics. One the score ofbreeding there is no reason why heshould not stay as well as most ofthose he will be called upon to meetand his Derby prospects appear veryrosy. Gallio was taken back to ToAwamutu during the week-end andnext week ho will leave on a southerncampaign, which will embrace races atTrent ha m and Ricearton. The outingshe has had lately have brought himoil considerably and he is an attractivegalloper whoso form should reach a
' very high standard when his powersare fully developed.
Breeding of GallioGallio is the second winner of tho
Great Northern Guineas sired byGeneral Latour, who won the race him-self in 3911, the other being tbe bril-liant Karapoti. Besides inheritingsome fine staying blood from GeneralLatour, who was responsible for thefine stayer Te Kara, Gallio also hasgood breeding on the maternal side.His dam, Prodice, a sterling per-former over middle distances, was byCatmint, son of Spearmint and grand-son of Carbine, from Hyades, by Hy-nicttus from Straga, by Birkenhead,tracing to the imported mare Juliet.In addition to Prodice, Hyades alsoproduced Ammon Ra and Phaola, andGallio should worthily uphold the re-putation of the successful family towhich he belongs.
As a three-year-old last season FloodTide gave indications of developinginto one of the Dominion's foremoststayers and he again demonstrated hisworth by his fine performance in win-ning the Mitchelson Cup. it was asplendid effort for a horse who had notraced since the autumn, and his excel-lent condition reflected great credit onhis trainer, R. Miller, who producedhim fit without the necessity of rac-ing him into form. It is probable thatFlood Tide will now be reserved for theAuckland Cup in December and itshould be only a matter of all goingwell for him to take considerable beat-ing. There does not appear to be any
1 doubt that he is a genuine stayer, andhis success draws attention to the factthat Tidal may prove a good sire ofstamina.
-Welcome Stakes WinnerAlthough he displayed a slight ten-
dency to bore away from the rails,Francis Drake won the Welcome Stakesin most impressive fashion and alwayshad tho measure of his opponents afterjumping out in front from No. 1 posi-tion. The full-brother to AdmiralDrake is a very resolute galloper wholooks as if he will train on to betterdeeds, and his prospects in the nearfuture appear very bright. FrancisDrake is expected to compete at Tren-tham and Riccarton and his meetingwith the best of the southern two-year-olds on those courses will beawaited with interest. An interestingfeature- of his win last Saturday wasthat ho was the seventh winner of theWelcome Stages sired by Chief Ruler,who made a great reputation as a sireof speed, and also produced a fewstayers, one of whom wa3 AdmiralDrake.
Only for the fact that ho hung atthe barrier and was actually tho lastto leave Scotland might have won thoMitchelson Cup, instead of beingbeaten by a neck. An impressionexisted that a mile and a-half mightprove too far for him and ho startedone of the outsiders of the field. Thoslow pace in the early stages was afactor in his favour and another' washis fitness, which was again demon-strated on tho second day when he wonthe King Edward Handicap in mostconvincing fashion. Scotland is at thetop of his form at present and is ahardy customer, who stays bettejjthan tho majority of tho progeny ofAero.
Two Likely ImproversTwo horses who may show early im-
provement as a result of their racing
at the meeting are Bed Manfred andEntail. On the second day Red Man-fred attempted tn had over the lastsis furlongs in tho King Edward Han-dicap and it was only near the endthat he weakened to finall.y finishfourth. It seems that he is just re-gaining form and his return to thowinning list should not be far distant.Entail also made a good showing onthe. second day when he finished avery close fourth in the LiverpoolHandicap and he should be worthwatching in his next few starts. RedManfred and Entail are both engagedat the Wellington spring meeting,
which opens at Trentham to-morrowweek.
Although defeated in 'his two races.Dark Shadow deepened the pood im-pression he created by his victories 111the hark ranks in the winter and de-monstrated that promotion to opencompany is unlikely to himfrom achieving further success. For afirst attempt over a mile and a-lialfDark Shadow did well in the Mitchcl-Hon Cup, fading only near the end, andhis effort indicated distinct possibili-ties in middle-distance races. Dark
.Shadow was responsible for anothersound performance over a mile in theLiverpool Handicap on tlio second dayand, with a, shade more luck in runninghe might have won.
The racing lie had at Avondale Instmonth was evidently very beneficialto Klanage and he displayed markedimprovement in finishing second toFrancis Drake in the Welcome Stakes.It was with a resolute effort at theend that he gained his placing and hois a long-striding colt who looks asif he will do bettor as the season ad-vances. Klanage, who cost 275 guineas«s a yearling, is by Posterity fromImpetuous, by Limond from Pennon,by Coriander from Kulogy, by Cicero,so that ho belongs to a very success-ful familv.

ELLERSLIE TRACKYESTERDAY'S GALLOPSBON STAR BEATS GAR VAALS
SCHOOLING OF JUMPERSBY ARCHER
A very useful effort over five furlongsby Don Star was the best gallop atLllcrslio yesterday, when many of thehorses were on the easy list after com-peting at the Auckland Racing Club'sSpring Mooting. Tlio No. 2 grass wasavailable for galloping and providedgood going, although it was a trillodead.
On the grass A\ hirlmint (McTavislOand Roman Mascot (Tremain) were onterms at the conclusion of seven fur-longs in 1.34. the first lour in 53 l-ss.
hirlmint came through her two racesat Pacroa very satisfactorily, and sheis a resolute finisher who should besuited by the long straight at Avondale.
Persian Lady (Buchanan) and Morn-ing Sun (Cameron), after running thefirst two in 26 3-ss. completed five fur-longs in 1.7 3-5, time upon which thevcould have improved. Persian Lady hasbeen disappointing and her trouble ap-pears to be that she is not very robust.
Dialogue (McTavish) and Gay Prin-cess (medium weight) were a couple oflengths in advance of Gay Broney (Lee)at tho completion of six furlongs in1.20 2-5. Dialogue has improved con-siderably in condition lately and willprobably have his first race at thoDargavillo meeting at Avondale. Hisowner-trainer, Air. C. Boyle, leaves forMelbourne by the Awatea on Friday.
High Star (Williams) placed fourfurlongs behind in 53 l-ss. He is mak-ing steady progress and his conditionis improving each week. Ringshot(McTavish) covered six furlongs in1.20 2-5. The Lackham gelding isbuilding up well and should prove use-ful later in the season.
Sprint by Gay DefenceHaputale (light boy) strode over half
a mile in 55 3-ss. The Tea Tray geldinghas been showing speed, and appears tobo becoming more solid. Gay Defence(Matison), looking none' the worse forhis race on Saturday, reeled off five fur-longs in 1.6, the last half-mile in5 2 1-os.
Master Brierlv (Green) completeduseful work with three furlongs in39 4-ss. His condition appears to boimproving with racing, but so far hehas failed to show a glimpse of formthis season.
Little Man (Walsh) covered half amile in 53 2-ss. Puling King encom-passed a round in 1.55, the last six fur-longs in 1.26 3-5. Lady Diana wentevenly over six furlongs ill 1.20 3-5,the first three in 40 l-ss.
Marjory Daw placed six furlongs be-hind in 1.29 3-5, the last three in43 3-ss. She demonstrated that, she hasnot lost any of her speed by showingup prominently for most of the way intli<j second division of the GordonHandicap on Saturday, and a hacksprint should be well within her reach.
Bon Star defeated Gar Vaals by twolengths over five furlongs in 1.5 2-5.They went fast over the first two in25 2-5s and Bon Star showed definitesigns of improvement.
Condition of Mazir- All Irish> (Fergus) was better thanArabesque (Turvey) in a schooling boutover six hurdles. All Irish appears to beon the up-grade.
Mountain Bruce (Turvey) gave asatisfactory display over four hurdles.Speedfast (Sharkey) began with himbut fell heavily at the second fence.Ho afterwards jumped the remaininghurdles safely.
On the sand Mazir did useful work.He looks well after his race in theMitchelson Cup, in which lie ran verydisappointingly, and he is remainingto contest the Dargaville Cup nextSaturday. Scotland is also staying forthat race.
Among the horses to perform service-able tasks were Tosh, Le Chasseur,.Tack Tar, Pound Up and Glen Abb.Tosh is a novice in M. J. Carroll'sstable and is a bold mover.

LAUGHING CHIEF'S PROMISE
[by telegraph—OWN cohhkspondent]PALMERSTON NORTH, Tuesday
Following torrential rain the trackswere very heavy at Awapuni this morn-ing. The No. 2 grass track was avail-able, but the . majority of the candi-dates for Mastcrton reserved their finalgallops until to-morrow. Dawning Light(L. M. Pine) struck out freely enoughto run five furlongs in 1.10 4-5. Ladylna (M. H. Nicol), who is improving,went the last three of six furlongs in43 2-ss. Muggins (J. Kelly), who hasdone little work, is coming to handquickly. He moved freely over lialf-a-mile, but was favouring his near fore-leg as ho pulled up.
Cloudy Bay (G. Tattersall), who willcome in for the second day at Tren-tham, was very an.vious to bo givenher head. Under a firm hold she ranfive furlongs in 1.8, the last three in425.
The weather improved later. Cor-roboree (R. Chisholm) required 42 l-5sfor three and 1.26 1-5 for six furlongs.This three-year-old is looking very well,but ho will probably require moreracing. Alloa (S. Anderson) left fivefurlongs behind in 1.8 3-5, the firsttwo in 26 2-ss.
Hunting Lodge (A. McCormac)shaded Severe (S. Anderson) over livefurlongs in 1.7 2-5, the former havingthe inside running, but the worse oftho poundages. It was the fastesteffort of the morning over the distance.Round Score (Anderson) jumped awayup the straight and then ran sevenfurlongs in 1.38 2-5. Happy Hunting(Anderson) left five furlongs behind in1.9 1-5. She has done little fast workof late, but covered tho first twofurlongs in 27 l-ss. Saltspray (A. Mc-Donald) covered six furlongs in 1.22,a useful effort for a hurdler.
Finnesko (P. Rae) was a neck infront of Nightrunner (Anderson) atthe end of six furlongs in 1.23.Tho forlner did not appreciate thegoing and had to bo kept up to hiswork. Laughing Chief (Anderson) andThe Crooner (Rae) recorded 38 2-5sfor three furlongs. Theso two-year-olds are promising. Laughing Chieffinished the stronger.
Silent Acre (McDonald) displayedspeed for a horse of his big frameby running three furlongs in 38 4-ss.He is possibly the most promisingmaiden performer here.

RANDWICK EVENTSSYDNEY WINNERS
GAY BLONDE BACK TO FORM
GOOD VICTORY FOR ROB ROY
[from our own correspondent]SYDNEY, Oct. 8
Silver Ring accounted for"the SpringStakes on the opening day at Band-wick, having a little to spare fromLough Neagh and Sporting Blood.Toward the finish Sporting Blood wascramped a little, enabling LoughNeagh to beat him for second. SilverRing was a t.rille sore alter the raceand it was decided to allow him tomiss his Metropolitan engagement,which was as well in the circumstancesof Young Crusader's win. High Crossand Journal also raced well, Journal'sdash at the finish earning him an im-mediate trip to Melbourne.
T. Webster rode a great race to winon P. Riddle's charge, Colebrato, with10.1 in the Kensington Handicap. Ina big field Fireman and Autoland fin-ished remarkably well.
Kogorio scored a very easy win inthe Trial Stakes on the opening day.New Zealand interest was centred onCerne Abbas, who came homo fifth.
M, McCarten SuspendedThere was a good deal of interfer-
ence at the three furlongs in theShorts Handicap, where Pamclus lostground to finish again in fourthplace. Tho stewards found that thetrouble was caused by ,M. McCartenon The Maine, McCarten being awardeda month's suspension, which does notexpire until alter Melbourne Cup day.D. Munro also incurred his month'ssuspension on The Marne.
Some Boy won tho Shorts Handicapin great style from the three-year-oldsMark Antony and Korimako, both ofwhom are very useful. II Duco carriedMr. .J. S. McLeod's colours into sixthplace. J. M. Cameron is having badluck with his horses, for ho has bothPladie and Happy Landing under acloud.
Gay Blonde was heavily backed towin the Squatters' Handicap. Carry-ing top-weight, 9.1, she was permittedto drop right out of the race for theiirst seven furlongs. Down the straightshe came with an amazing run to wingoing away in the smart time of 2.4.J.
Success of J. KingThe third day at Randwick saw J.
King win half the programme withGay Blonde, Record and Rogerio. GayBlonde's success in the Craven Platecaught most people unprepared and ex-plained why she had beaten an ordinaryfield of liandicappers so easily on Mon-day. She was always well placed inthe middle of the field in the weiglit-for-ago event, and, moving up ijj thestraight, won going away. Obviouslyshe has now struck her real New Zea-land form. She was followed home byher stable-mate, Oro, who ran pastthe field in the straight.
Silver Ring, in spite of reports abouthis lameness, jumped out in front andled until Hearing the post. SportingBlood was alongside Silver lling aftertrailing him throughout. SportingBlood is improving. Gustos had everychance and failed again, while theboomed Pamelas collapsed at the turnand finished last.
Celebrate won his second race at themeeting by carrying; 9.3 to the frontof the Suburban Handicap field, againadmirably handled bv T. Webster. HadHigh finished generously he wouldhave won. Golden Chance was kickedat the post and was lame after therace.
Rob Roy won his first race in thoMembers' Handicap. With 8.9, ho ranaway from a fair field. The Night Raidcolt is in line £or more and biggersuccesses in Melbourne. Not only didhe spreadcagle the field, but his time,2.4, was good, lie might easily developinto a cup proposition. Cerne Abbasstarted in tho race, but was neverprominent.
AUSTRALIAN DERBY
TALKING'S CONVINCING WIN
[from our own correspondent]SYDNEY, Oct. 8
Sensations began early on DerbyDay, Mala escaping with two minorscratches after an encounter with atramcnr on liis way back from thetraining track at Randwick in tbo earlymorning. That the incident did notupset him lio showed by a sturdyfinish in his race.
Tt appeared that W. Cook, on Mala,and M. McCarten, on Gold Rod, werenuf to watch each other. When GoldRod went to the front a mile fromhome, taking the lead from Talking,Mala was sent up to within a lengthof him, leaving Talking in third place.Cook had a "feel" at Gold Rod atabout the half-mile and appeared satis-lied, so ho did not move again untilabout a furlong and a-half from homo.Mala, after a short struggle, had GoldRod beaten, but A. R. Knox, on Talk-ing, then became very busy. Talkingjoined Mala, who resisted stoutly forhalf a furlong. However, fronr thatpoint Talking drew away and won con-vincingly.
Mala was anything but disgraced,and W. Cook, his rider, said that howould turn the tables in the VictorianDerby. Apparently Gold Rod after allis not a stayer, but somo close ob-servers considered he was not goingin his proper style in the race.
Gustos plugged on into fourth place.Ho is improving in condition all thetime. .Another New Zealand-bred coltin Rob Hoy ran a fair race for fifth.Ho is also a typo who is all the bottorfor riming,
Bobby was outclassed, and PeterPan's half-brother Brazilian showedthat ho is well below his relative'sstandard.
Hilly Boy, after causing Shake-speare's fall at the start, shaped verymoderately. Shakespeare, when rider-loss and following the field, jumpedtho outside rail at tho five furlongs,landing on his head, skinning his nose,and receiving sonic slight abrasions. Herecovered quickly and went to Mel-bourne for tho three-year-old races intho south.
PROGENY OF VEILMOND
VERY IMPRESSIVE DEBUT
[FROM OUK OWN CORRESPONDENT]SYDNEY, Oct. 8
Two-year-olds by Veihnond have hadmarked success on their first appear-ance on tho turf. 1?oil borough won therich Breeders' Plate for him at Band-wick and Lochlce won in great stylelast Saturday at Fleinington.
Bodborough won well, but he mayhave been lucky to beat St. Constant,who was badly left and finished on verystrongly into second place. Tho thirdhorse, Bodley Head, is a neat Bullheadcolt who gallops well. Silonus, brotherfo Dcrmid and Havaspot, disappointedin running fourth, but he should im-prove. Sir Thespian raced best of theothers. Thealos fell on his nose at thostart.
Record, a neat filly by Marconigram,won the Gimeraek Stakes by inchesfrom Delight and Joan Darling. Recordbegan well from the outside and soongot over to tho rails, whereas Delightran wide at the turn. It appeared thatDelight should have won. Handsomealso showed real speed, while Poly Joyand Nightingale, tho half-sister toHomer, finished close up. A New Zea-land-bred filly, Reremoa, was runningon strongly. She is a sister to Quietlyand The Palmist. The Jilt, a very finefilly hv Constant Son, lost all chance attho start. More should bo heard of her.
CAULFIELD CUPGOOD FIELD ENGAGED
FIVE NEW ZEALANDERS
INCIDENTS OF THE PAST
BY PHAETONThe Caul field Cup which comes up for
decision next Saturday will mark the58th contest. A few years ago the A.J.C.Derby ranked next to the MelbourneCup as the most valuable race south oltlio line, but now tho distinction restswith the Caulfiuld Cup. For Victoria'scentenary year (11)34) the stake-moneywas raised from £SOOO to £(3500, atrophy to the value of £JSO beingadded, and it has remained the samesince.
The final acceptances for this year'srace found 24 still engaged, the Queens-land horse Pamclus (8.13) heading thelist. With live New Zealand-bred horsesengaged and three of the number in-cluded with tho favourite division,there will be much to interest* Do-minion sportsmen in the result of therace. The New Zealand quintette in-clude Gay Blonde, oyrs, by Gay Shield,8.10; Golden Promise, 4yrs, by Liniond,8.0; Desert Chief, 4yrs, by Chief Ruler,7.10; Gay Circle, 4yrs, by Gay Shield,7.0; One Whetu, syrs, by Sundstar, 7.8.
Gay Blonde's victory in the CravenPlate, one mile and a-quarter, at Band-wick last week was estimated highly,and, as she has proved her ability tostay a mile and a-lialf and can carryweight, sho is well entitled to bo in-cluded in the favourite division. GoldenPromise has run several good races andhis victory in the Mentone Cup, onemile and a-quarter, in which he carried8.7 and beat a field of 15 in 2.5i, wasvoted highly creditable. Desert Chiefand Gay Circle, who are both owned bythe Duncdin sportsman Mr. C. G. Bar-ton, have both recent winning form torecommend them, and the former espe-cially has been kept in a good place inthe quotations. One Whetu has wonover a mile and a-quarter, but he hasyet to be tested at a mile and a-half.
Three-year-old CandidateThe only three-year-old engaged is
the Sydney-owned colt Talking, who isweighted at 7.6. The eon of Magpie isgiven full credit for his win in theA.J .C. Derby, for he won in good styleat the right end. •
The Caulfield Cup has provided itsfull share of sensations. The 1885 racewill never bo forgotten. Sixteen of the41 starters came down in a tangledheap, and Donald Nicholson, cracklightweight jockey of the day, waskilled. Among those badly injured wasPrank McGrath, who has since beenconsoled by training two winners of thf>event, Australian-bred Amounis andIrish-bred Denis Boy.
A sensation of another kind was pro-vided in 1893, when Tim Swiveller ledthe field home, his immediate followersbeing Sainfoin and Oxide. An occur-rence near the finish led to the lodgingof protests by the respective owners ofthe second and third horses against TimSwiveller being declared the winner onthe grounds of interference. The pro-tests were dismissed by the V.A.T.C.stewards, but tho matter did not endthere. The case on appeal went to thestewards of the Victoria Racing Cluband a photograph taken of the finish-placed before the body hearing theappeal was considered to have so com-pletely establishd the interferencesuffered by Sainfoin and Oxide thattho appeal was upheld. The race wasawarded to Sainfoin, Oxide placedsecond and Tim Swiveller ruled out.Some bitter feeling was engenderedover the case, but Mr. J. H. Davis,owner of Tim Swiveller, accepted thedecision of the.V.R.C. stewards and the•matter ended. Tim Swiveller ruled theoutsider of the field at 50 to 1.
Success of King OflaRegarded as a " certainty" in 1918,
King Oifa vent amiss two days beforethe race :md on the night precedingthe contest was knocked back to 20 to 1.On the day lie was pronounced sound,and, starting favourite at o to 2, heromped home.
Trouble followed the success of 'Purserin 1924 and the case, which ended intho disqualification of the joint ownersand trainer, as well as a leading jockey,was one of the most sensational of allracing "cases'' in Australia.
Poseidon is tho only horse to win theCaulfield Cup in two successive years,1906 and 1907. Paris won in 1892 and1894, Hymettus in 1898 and 1901, UncleSam in 1912 and 1914, and Whittier in1922 and 1925.
Three-year-olds have won tho racenine times, namely, Little Jack, byKing Colo, 6.11; Waterfall, by Niagara,7.3; Amberite, by Carbine, 7.7; Dewey,by Lochiel, 6.12; Sweet Nell, by HautBrion, 6.13; Poseidon, by Positano, 7.7;Bronzetti, by Bronzino, 6.13; Whittier,by Woorak, 6.13; Palfresco, by Son o'Mine, 7.1.
Tho only dead-heat recorded in theCaulfield Cup was in 1909, when thejudge was unable to separate Aborigine,8.9, and Bluo Book, 8.1. The dead-heaters wore rank outsiders.
Tho race has been won live times byhorses carrying over 9.0, tho success-ful quintette being Paris, 9.4; Poseidon,9.3; Purser, 9.5; Manfred, 9.6; HighSyco, 9.4; Amounts, 9.8.
An interesting record is that im-ported horses have scored six victories,namely, Lavenda, by Chaucer; Shep-herd King, by Martagon; King Ofi'u, byRadium; Lueknow, by Minoru; Violon-cello, by Valens; and Denis Boy, bySoldennis.
Palfresco's RecordGaino Carrington created a fresh
Australian and New Zealand record fora milo and a-ijalf when ho won in2.28 i in 1933. That record stood onlyuntil 1935, when Palfresco scored in2.272.
Now Zealand-bred horses have gainedtwo outright wins in tho Caulfield Cup.In 1908 Maranui, by Malatua, led thofield home, and in 1933 Gaino Carring-ton, by Hunting Song, won. Aborigine,by Mcrriweo, who dead-hoatod for firstin 1909, also hailed from the Donation.In addition tho following New Zealand-bred horses finished second in respectiveyears:—Apologue (1907), Anna Car-lovna (1913), Tho Banker (1926), andAffirm (1927).
In 19154 tho Otago sportsman Sir. W.T. Hazlett was thought to hold the keyto the position with the four-year-oldSir Simper, who had tho handy impostof 7.5. The luck of tho running oper-ated against Sir Simper, who finishedthird. A general opinion expressed wasthat the New Zealand horse shouldhave won, for lie finished less than alength behind the leading pair afterbeing pocketed at certain stages of thecontest.

ENTERTAINMENTSROXY AND TIVOLI THEATRESAlthoughmany thrilling aviation films
depicting the work of commercial pilotsand war-time fliers which have beenproduced within recent years, the 'Workof the most daring of all airmen, thetest pi lots, lias seldom been utilisedas screen material. In "Devil's Squad-ron," the main attraction at the Roxyand Tivoli Theatres to-day, however,the dangerous nature of the work andthe courage demanded of these "unsungheroes" of the .air is exploited to thefull. The story depicts the adventuresof an outstanding war-time pilot whowas dishonourably discharged from theservico. Ordinary commercial aviationwas thus closed to him as a profes-sion, but through the help of thesuperintendent of a testing field air-port, Dana Kirk, he obtains a positionas a test pilot. How ho saves the youngson of the owner from disgrace, whenthe former commits suicide rather thanundertake a particularly hazardousflight, and how he himself in turn isdisgraced through no fault ol his own,makes intensely dramatic entertain-ment. Throughout the whole story, asit sweeps forward to its thrillingclimax, an element of romance isskilfully woven, and the final scenesare characterised by some exceptionallyfine acting Richard Dix, Karen Mor-ley and Lloyd Nolan have the pro-minent roles.

McLeod,M.L.C., a member of the managementcommittee of the New Zealand RugbyFootball Union, that as far as he isaware the union had never considereduntil last week the question of theSouth Africans bringing over 82players. The request was then declined.The union did not at any time offer toaccept thrfee additional players if theSpringboks would play four tests.
"The New Zealand Union had beennegotiating 'with the Australian Unionfor its views on the proposal," saidMr. McLeod. "The New ZealandUnion had never asked for more thanthree tests. Australia, however, hadasked for three, and to this New Zea-land offered no objection, except thatit would prolong the tour three or fourdays. Owing to sailing dates fromAfrica and New Zealand it is only pos-sible to play 17 matches here, unlessthe tour should b-3 extended to thesecond week in October, which is be-yond the regular Rugby season in NewZealand. Moreover, it would be use-less playing more matches after thelast test, owing to lack of interest.Also it was considered hopeless play-ing test matches in. October."
BRAKE EFFICIENCY
COST OF CERTIFICATES
OPINIONS AT ELLERSUEA suggestion that the Ellerslie Town
Board should protest against the pro-posed half-yearly charge of 5s on allmotorists for certificates of brake effi-ciency led to a discussion last nightat a meeting of the board.
Mr. A. H. Mclntyre said that thetax would be a direct imposition onmotorists. The proper method of en-suring road-worth:iness lay in effectivechecking by traffic inspectors. To givea certificate every six months wouldcreate a false sense of security. Heurged thai; a protest be entered. •
Mr. S. Psmberton said the inspec-tors would still have power to checkbrakes. The proposed system of issuingcertificates was or.lj part of a greaterroad safety policy.
The view that good reasons hadactuated the Minister of Transport inthe scheme was expressed by Mr. J. J.Toy. Where the safeguarding of lifewas concerned, an additional charge of10s a year would not be grudged bymotorists, he said.
Mr. H. Lan Simson said that theboard could scarcely express a com-petent opinion on the informationavailable.
It was decided to defer further con-sideration.
HOARDINGS OPPOSED
COMPLAINTS AT .ELLERSLIESEVERAL TO BE REMOVEDSteps to eliminate the erection of
hoardings and business notices on pri-vate properties in the residential partsof the town were taken last night bytho Ellerslie Town Board.
Members reported 011 an inspectionof certain cases, and Messrs. H. I.Simson and J. Gavan urged that re-moval should be insisted upon.
Mr. S. Pembcrton said that the boardshould bo consistent and take steps todeal with all hoardings. Outside firmswere placarding t:ie whole district withadvertisements.
"Tho daily papers are tho propermedium for advertising and none shouldbe allowed in private gardens," said]\lr. J. J. Toy. The board should sup-port a movement to remove all hoard-ings 011 roadsides, which were despoil-ing the landscape.
The chairman, Mr. H. J. White,said that" meanwhile the board coulddeal only with cases of which residentshad lodged complaints.
It was decided to order the removalof the notices mentioned.

NAVAL AGREEMENTS
Two London Naval Treaties arementioned in important items ofnews to-day. One was negotiatedearly in 19130, the other in a confer-ence that was in session fromDecember 9, 1935, to March 25 ofthis year. Neither achieved all thatwas hoped when work upon thembegan. That of 1930 was acceptedby Britain, the United States andJapan; France and Italy failed toagree between themselves, therebymaking the treaty of little effect,for the so-called "escalator clause,"inserted as a result of their with-holding of approval, provided aloop-hole for increased constructionby the other three Powers. J£venapart from this, the treaty did littleto limit navies and in the aggregateeffected no reduction. Under theprovisions of the special clause, anactual and considerable increase hassince occurred. The treaty of thisyear, although the same five Powerswere invited to be parties, wasequally disappointing. Again only
i three of them agreed—Britain (again; including the Dominions), the United
j States and France ; Italy held aloofi from the conference for political(reasons relating to the League
i trouble over Abyssinia, and Japan| withdrew when no welcome was
! given to her proposal for a "commonupper limit." Italy intimated thatshe might become a signatory afteran adjustment of her dispute withother League Powers; Japan gaveno promise, and has hitherto shownno disposition to co-operate, notwith-standing the fact that the newprovisions left unaffected her localstrategic supremacy in the Orient.Germany, it was thought, would beready to consider a bilateral agree-ment with Britain covering the sameground as the treaty, if an Anglo-Russian agreement on the same lineswere reached. Now it appears that,unsatisfactory as were both theseLondon Treaties, each may proveto be a starting-point for a widerand better understanding.
Italy has signified adherence tothat part of the treaty of 1930 whichdealt with submarines, a subject ofobstinate difficulty ever since Britishadvocacy of their abolition wasunsuccessful at the Washington Con-ference of 1921-22. At London in1930 no such drastic proposal wasmade, but the three signatories thereaccepted as established rules ofinternational law two well-definedprovisions. The first read—" In theiraction with regard to merchantships, submarines must conform tothe rules of international law towhich surface vessels are subject."Toward this restriction the Washing-ton Conference had moved as far asits sharp controversy allowed. Therewas verbally acknowledged thepractical impossibility of using sub-marines as commerce destroyerswithout violating, "as they wereviolated in the recent war of1914-18," the requirements univer-sally accepted by civilised nationsfor the protection of the lives ofneutrals and non-combatants, andconsequently the prohibition of thisuse of them was accepted as bindingon the signatories; other nationswere invited to adhere to thisdecision. The London agreement, byplacing submarines under the restric-tions applying to surface vessels,gave needed definition to this safe-guarding of merchant ships. Itssecond enunciation of a new rule ofinternational law applicable to sub-marines was quite precise: exceptin the case of persistent refusal tostop on being duly summoned to doso, or of active resistance to visit orsearch, a warship (whether surfacevessel or submarine) was not to sinkor render incapable of navigationany merchant vessel without havingfirst placed passengers, crew andship's papers in a place of safety.Italy's adherence to this part of thetreaty of 1930 fujthers the effort' todiminish submarine warfare.
A more venturesome, not to sayoptimistic, step towards regulatedlimitation of naval armaments wastaken at the London Conferenceconcluding in March last. It is uponthis step and the Anglo-Russiannaval conversations following it, thatthe German Government is now-offering its comments. Althoughnothing was done to establishquantitative limitation—Japan's in-flexible opposition to the ratiosystem put an end to hope of that—the conference boldly tried toachieve qualitative limitation ; thatis, it gave up the task of fixing thetotal strength of navies and triedto agree on the fighting qualitiesembodied in different types of war-vessels. With this effort was com-bined another—the framing of aformula for the exchange of inform-ation about shipbuilding pro-grammes. The chief provision ofthis part of the treaty was that ofa standard form in accordance withwhich the signatory Powers were tocommunicate to each other, withinthe first four months of each calendaryear, their annual programmes ofconstruction or acquisition of theprincipal types of vessel. Technicaldetails—dimensions, speed, numberand calibre of guns, torpedo arma-ment, minelaying and aircraft equip-ment, and so on were to bedeclared. These announcements wereto be binding for the year, exceptfor contingencies of war and (another-appearance of an "escalator clause")naval expansion by a non-signatoryPower or any other threateningchange of circumstances. WhatGermany is prepared to do in thisway is not yet known. Much willdepend on Russia's attitude, asalready communicated to Britain.Neither Germany nor Russia hasbeen remarkable for frankness insuch matters, nor is it a habit of anyother Power. But, as a test of goodfaith in seeking peace, it may becomevaluable. Incorporated in treaties,it should be some restraint. Anythingis worth trying -as a brake on com-petitive amassing of armament..
EXCHANGE STABILISATION
The move toward stabilisation ofsterling-dollar-franc exchange rates,announced on September 26, whenFrance finally took the step ofdevaluing the franc, has been car-ried a step further. Gold held by thecentral banks of the three countrieswill be called into service to relievepressure on any of the currencies,and, obviously, to keep fluctuationswithin narrow limits. The Britishannouncement emphasises the pointthat sterling still remains a freecurrency. The use of gold to preventthe value of the pound in terms ofdollars from swinging too widely isa change of method, not of policy.The Exchange Equalisation Accountwas established some years ago forthe same purpose, and has workedto that end ever since. So far assterling is concerned, the gold basisis not being restored—at leastdirectly. There is no fixed price atwhich gold will be bought and soldin London. There is a fixed price inNew York, 35 dollars per ounce. Theprice of gold in London will, there-fore, be regulated by the dollarexchange rate, but the policy ofkeeping that relatively stable meansthat the price of gold in terms ofsterling will not vary greatly. Thisis not a return to the orthodox goldstandard, but an approach towardit. There will be no free marketfor gold. The buying and sellingwill be done by official agencies, thuskeeping the exchange rates undertheir control. The ultimate goal,according to the Secretary of theUnited States Treasury, is stabilis-ation of currencies at a fixed ratio.It is open for any country acceptingthe conditions to become a party tothe arrangement. Thus an impor-tant advance has been made towardthe stabilisation of internationalexchange, vainly sought at the WorldEconomic Conference in 1933.
URBAN LEVEL CROSSINGS
All road users will view withprofound satisfaction the progressthat is being made with works invarious parts of the province for theelimination of railway level cross-ings. Plans are also being preparedfor road deviations, bridges or sub-ways at other points. The Ministerof Public Works deserves praise forthe energy with which he is prose-cuting the announced programme.Attention must, however, be drawnonce again to a grave omission. Nocrossings are being eliminated in anyof the larger centres of populationand, so far as is known, no proposalshave been advanced for doing so.Works planned or in progress are allin country districts. Finance is theobstacle in urban areas. Boroughsof over 6000 inhabitants are expectedto find 50 per cent of the cost, whichis heavy in many cases. MountAlbert, for instance, would have tofind £7500. as its share of the costof bridges in Argyle Street andGladstone Road. Ratepayers do notfeel inclined to pay so much for thesolution of a problem created bythe Railways Department, which, inthis case, is prepared to find only£2500, with the Unemployment Boardproviding the remaining £SOOO. Inrural areas and small towns theHighways Board finds half the costand the local bodies contributenothing. The board's jurisdictionends, however, at the boundaries ofcities and large boroughs, where thelocal authorities are expected to findhalf the cost. They certainly receivea small share of the petrol taxrevenue that finances the board, butnot sufficient to enable them to con-template heavy expenditure forcapital works. Hence nothing isbeing done about crossings in urbanareas where population and trafficare of maximum density. Mr. Sempleshould face the fact of this impasseand find some means to get round,over or under it. His positiveapproach should find a way.
POLICE WORKING CONDITIONS
The Auckland police force isunderstaffed and overworked,, as isshown by the facts quoted in anarticle published this morning.Citizens will be amazed at the hoursworked by members of both theuniform and the detective branchesof the service. It is »gh time thatrelief measures were taken and aperiod set for their application.Policemen cannot be trained over-night, but measures should havebeen taken long since so that adefinite assurance could have beengiven as to when the existing un-satisfactory conditions would beended. These show up the moreunfavourably by contrast with therecent improvement in the wonkinghours in most other occupations and,indeed, with those current prior tothe changes. A Government thatorders private employers to reduceweekly hours to 40 or 44, and stillcontinues to work its police from 56to GO hours a week, opens itself tothe charge of insincerity. Moreoverthese long hours are not regular;they are worked in shifts and themen are on duty six and seven daysa week. In allowing such conditionsto continue the Government is takinga clear risk of disaffection in theprimary and most important com-munity service. The Minister inCharge of Police, Mr. Fraser, isaware of the position, because hehas before him the annual reportsof district officers, several of whichrecommend increases in staff. Atpresent, for instance, there are onlythree non-commissioned officers inthe North Auckland district, forwhich Inspector O'Hara asks threeextra sergeants. Superintendent Tillrecommends an increase of 20 con-stables and two sergeants at theAuckland Central Station, and thereports proceed in similar vein fur-ther south. Mr. Fraser should seethat every district is adequatelystaffed so that the police can sharein the improved working conditionsenjoyed by the rest of the com-munity. The matter requires to betreated with urgency and despatch.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
FEAR CONQUERING HOPE
" There are powerful influences onthe side of peace," said Viscount Hali-fax in a recent address. "I believethat in every European country to-daythe mass of the population, and notleast that part of it which fought inthe last war, craves for peace, and thatmost of the irresponsible talk aboutwar to-day is in truth a reflection ofmen's fears rather than of their ex-pectations. They know that if thereshould be war again in Europe therewould be ruthless obliteration of thedistinction between combatant andnon-combatant, and that the wound tocivilisation on which our life dependsmight and probably would be mortal."
NEW POSTACr STAMPS
The fundamental simplicity of theBritish postage stamps of the newreign is an immense gain. For thefirst time for many years the publicis given a stamp which explains it-self and its purpose without any irrele-vant or distracting detail; not evenQueen Victoria's earliest stamps, simpleas they were, were quite so free fromotiose ornament. The King's head, hisCrown, the price (in figures) of thestamp, and the word "postage" (with-out "revenue") express exactly whatthe stamps are for, what they areworth, and from whose realm theyissue; nothing could be more conciseor more befitting the country whichgave the first postage stamps to theworld. Then as now there was no
need for anything more, and a com-parison of these new stamps with thoseof King George and still more thoseof King Edward VII. should leave nodoubt where the superiority lies. Intheir clear-cut directness the new de-signs are true to the spirit of the ageand are the more characteristic of theKing whom they depict.
BARRIERS BETWEEN CHURCHES
Dr. W. R. Matthews, Dean of St.Paul's, in his presidential address tothe Modern Churchmen's Conference atOxford, said that the time was ripefor a new Reformation —one whichwould be carried out in the spirit ofErasmus rather than of Luther. "Weseek to know," he said, "what Christhas to say to this generation and toproclaim it in the language of thisgeneration. We desire to throw downthe barriers which former ages haveerected between the Christian com-munions, and we look forward to thotime when the great Catholic Churchshall embrace all who can say, 'Jesusis my Lord and my Leader'." Themodern mind, he continued, was in acondition of complete confusion. Theinfluence of Christianity in the worldwas steadily waning. While the ration-alists had nothing to offer, what theChurches offered became less and lessacceptable to the masses of Westerncivilisation. The work of the ModernistChristian was most desperately neededand offered the only hope of exit fromthe state of spiritual incoherence.There was no real alternative beforemen other than Christianity. If therewas any alternative .it was a kind ofmaterialism in which scarcely anythinker of repute really believed.
TRAFFIC IN BELGIUM
Here there are cycle tracks alongall the main roads and most of thesmaller roads, and one never has inconsequence to try to keep one ap-prehensive eye on a wobbling cyclist■while at the same time trying to avoidoncoming motor traffic, says the Earlof Radnor in a letter to the Timeswritten from Belgium. This is a veryconsiderable relief by day, and whenmotoring at night means that it ispossible with absolute confidence tokeep right in to the kerb when brightheadlights make it difficult to see.Pedestrians in England have an equalright with other traffic to be in theroad. Here, I believe 1 am correct insaying, they have not. Certainlypeople are much more careful andmotorists apparently devoid of anypoliteness toward them. Even theslightest sound on the horn and any-one on foot jumps out of the way, ingreat contrast to those many pedes-trians in England who only seem tomake way grudgingly. One cannot helpwondering whether the phychologicaleffect of knowledge on the part ofpedestrians that they have no rightto the road does not make them morecareful and whether an alteration ofthe law in this respect and the addi-tion of cycle tracks to British roadswould not decrease the road accidentsvery materially. Pedestrians and cyclistswould certainly object, but surely agrievance is better than a grave.
THE NEW GERMANY
Speaking of recent observations inGermany made on a, long tour to allparts of that country, Lord Rennell ofRodd writes as follows to tho Times:I may speak hero with somo authority,having known Germany well for con-siderably more than 50 years, four ofwhich, 1885 to 1888, were passed attho British Embassy at Berlin. Whathas impressed me most of alt in myrecent visits has been the complete dis-appearance of that rigid separation ofclasses which subsisted over thegreater part of this period. Tho socialsystem of the Bismarckian epoch,which was not essentially modifieddown to the Great War, was based notonly on tradition, but also on a convic-tion that the socurity of Germany inthe centre of a far from friendlyEurope depended on the maintenanceof an exclusive military aristocracy,with which neither science, letters, norart, and much less business, had anyintimate intercourse. No trace of thatdivision of classes is appreciable to-dayin the general atmosphere of friendlyrelations prevailing among a peoplewhich appears to have become, in thebest sense of the word, democratised inan incredibly short time. To my mindnothing is more significant of a changeof mentality than the present demean-our of the bureaucracy and the police,who seem to have reverted to thehelpful attitude which older men usedto tell me 50 years ago had once beentheir normal characteristic. No doubtthere may bo a certain number whotacitly resent the new order, but sofar as mv experience goes tho<se whohave made the greatest sacrifices havemade them with good will and convic-tion that the "salus reipublicae" re-quired them. The rapid evolution ofthe community spirit in the new Ger-many, though no doubt facilitated bypost-war conditions, has been mainlythe work as it was the aim of that re-markable man of vision who directsthe destinies of Germany.
LOCAL AND GENERAL

his home on Monday, Mr. John LeonardJones, aged 82, of 0 Croydon Road,Mount Eden,* was admitted to theAuckland Hospital yesterday. His con-dition was described as satisfactory lastnight.Early Strawberries
Two chips, of strawberries grown atBirkdale were sold at the City Mar-kets yesterday. The first of the season,theso strawberries realised 3s 6d achip. It is not expected the fruit willbo coming forward in any quantity fora few weeks yet.Site for Boatshed
An. application for a site for a boat-shed as near as possible to that grantedto the St. George's Rowing Club inMechanics' Bay, was received from theAuckland University College BowingClub at a meeting of the AucklandHarbour Board yesterday. It was de-cided to grant the application, theannual rental for the site to be £5.
Boys at Council MeetingA party of boys from the Auckland
Grammar School, who are studyinglocal and general political affairs,attended the meeting of the City Coun-cil last night, and followed the debatesthroughout. They were welcomed bythe Mayor, Mr. Ernest Davis, who saidhe hoped they would be able to learnsomething from the deliberations ofthe Council. He invited them to comeagain.Clerk's Baby Bonus
The voting of a small addition tothe salary of the clerk, the Rev. A.M. Elliffe, by the Auckland Presbyterylast night, gave his brethren oppor-tunity to make light-hearted referenceto a recent happy event in the clerk'shome. The vote might be regarded asa kind of baby bonus, said one whosupported it. Renewed laughter wascaused by the remark of another, whocommented, "It's a pity it wasn'ttwins!"University Examinations
The final term examinations of thoAuckland University College, which be-gan 011 Monday, will lie continued untilnext Thursday. They will he followedafter a brief interval by the annualdegree examinations of the Universityof New Zealand, which begin on Mon-day, November 2, and conclude on Fri-day, November 20. The total numberof degree candidates this year is slightlybelow the figure for last year.The Little Black Shag
A suggestion that the little blackshag did not eat trout was made byMr. R. A. Falla, ornithologist at theAuckland War Memorial Museum, at ameeting of the council of the AucklandAcclimatisation Society last night. Therewas no doubt that the big black shagdestroyed trout, while the little white-throated shag also was suspected. Ithad not been proved, however, that thelittle black shag harmed trout. It wasagreed to make a closer study of thebird.
Medal for City CouncilThe Auckland Horticultural Society
wrote to the City Council last nightthanking the council for its display atthe recent daffodil show, and statingthat in recognition of what the parksdepartment had done for the societyand as an award for the display, thesociety was presenting the council witha Royal Horticultural Society bronzemedal. The council congratulated theparks superintendent, Mr. T. S. Ald-ridge, and his staff on this recog-nition.Propaganda and Tracts
"I have known literature from Russiato enter this country in the wrappersof the New Zealand Bible TractSociety," said the Rev. T. H. Eccersallat the Baptist Assembly yesterday, dtir-ing a discussion on the relation of theChurch and economics. When an amend-ment was put forward that the mattershould be placed before churches in"black and white" a delegate movedas a further amendment, amid laugh-ter. that it be in "red and white."Church Centenary Schemes
Two schemes for tho PresbyterianChurch celebrations of the centennialof the Dominion in 1940 were men-tioned at the meeting of the AucklandPresbytery last evening. One is ascheme for raising a sum of £IOO,OOOto be capitalised and tho interest givento some form of mission enterprise.The other proposal, initiated by theRev. P. G. Hughes, is for the erectionof a chancel and altar in St. Andrew'sPresbyterian Church. The Presbytery'scentennial committee was strengthenedby the addition of four new membersto consider these and other proposals.
Benefit ol 40-Hour Week"Greater harmony among employers
and em ployed in the sawimlling in-dustry has been noticed since tho in-troduction of the 40-hour week," saidMr. F. Craig, secretary to the Auck-land Timberworkers' Union, yesterday.Ho instanced a mill in the Whakatanedistrict, which had supplied more tim-ber in September under the shorter-week system than in any month pre-viously worked on the 47-hours-weeklyprinciple. The personnel was identical,said Mr. Craig, and ho attributed thegreater output to tho improved rela-tionships between the firm and itsworkers.
Equality ot the SexesTho contention that equal oppor-
tunity should be allowed males andfemales in applying for positions wasmade by the deputy-mayor, the Hon.B. Martin, M.L.C., at the City Coun-cil's meeting last night, when a recom-mendation was before it that a cadetshould bo appointed to the sanitarydepartment. Mr. H. P. Burton said thehead of a department had the best ideaof its requirements, and his adviceshould be taken. Miss E. Melvillemaintained that the day of differentia-tion between tho sexes was long pastand that qualifications should be theonly test. The matter was referredback to the Works Committee.
Aerial Ambulance WorkThat the usefulness of the aeroplane
as a rapid and comfortable means oftransport for the sick and injured isbeing slowly recognised by New Zea-landers is illustrated by the fact that yetanother patient is to be conveyed totho South by the Auckland Aero Club'sPuss Moth machino to-day. Thepatient, who expects to arrive atChristchurch about two o'clock to-day,will be accommodated in the cabin ofthe monoplane and will be accompaniedon the flight by a nurse. Tho machinewill leave the Mangere aerodrome at8.110 this morning and will return fromChristchurch this afternoon. The pilotwill be the captain of the AucklandAero Club, Mr. W. J. Sexton.
ONEHUNGA FIREFELLMONGERY STORE
EXTENSIVE DAMAGEWOOL, SKINS AND LEATHER
SPECTACULAR OUTBREAK
Firemen from three brigades foughtdesperately for nearly an hour lastnight to control a fire which sweptthrough the fellmongery store of theleather works of W. Sutherland andCompany, Limited, Onehunga, doingheavy damage to the contents, whichwere valued at £3OOO, and consisted otbales of wool, loose wool, skins, dryingleather, wax, borax and other tanningmaterials.
Fanned by a strong wind, the firosoon gained a firm hold inside the store,which became like a roaring furnace asthe flames ignited large quantities ofloose wool and other highly inflammablematerial. Only the fact that the windwas blowing away from the main blockof buildings prevented the fire fromassuming more serious proportions.
Three Engines Answer Call
The alarm was given shortly after10.15 p.m. and was answered by threeengines from the Onehunga, GreatSouth Boad and Mount Eoskill stations.By 10.30 there were about 20 firemenon the scene trying to control the fire,which was bla/.ing furiously, sending upclouds of crimson-tinted smoke, andsweeping unchecked along the fulllength of the building.
Four long leads of hose were run outto each side of the building, the fiiemenworking under the difficulties oi dark-ness and the situation of the budding,which could not be approached closelyby the engines. The firemen s firstefforts to control the flames were notcompletely successful, as the water was
played on" the walls of the building, anddid not reach the inside, where the firewas at its height.
Hoses Take EffectAfter nearly an hour, however, tho
heavy streams of water from the hosesbegan to check the flames, and by11.30 p.m. firemen were able to get intoone part of the building and drag outsmouldering bundles of skins. In thebasement of the store, where therewere more bundles of skins and tan-ning materials, firemen, working by thelight of torches, searched every .cornerwith the hoses. Fortunately, the floorof the building was not badly dam-aged, and the firemen were able towork without fear of falling timber.Bv midnight the fire was extinguished,and a guard was kept to see that smoul-dering skins did not start a fresh blaze.
Firemen's Trying TaskPart of the store was used for drying
skins in the tanning process, and "whenthe fire broke out there was a largequantity spread out on racks andnumbers of bales in the basement. Nearthese bales were quantities of wax,borax, salt and acids, used in thepreservation of the skins. Ihe actionof the flames and water on this acidmade the firemen's task a very uncom-fortable one. In spite of their difficul-ties, however, none of the firemen re-ceived more than slight burns aboutthe hands.
Hundreds of Spectators
Hundreds of people watched the fire,which could be seen from a considerabledistance away, and there were dozensof motor-cars lining the roads near by.Many people living in Princes Street,which overlooks the tannery works,watched the fire from their homes.
No night watchman was kept on thepremises, and the outbreak was firstnoticed by a passer-by, who gave thealarm from a box in Spring Street.All three engines which answered thecall were on the scene very promptly,and the firemen did good work in sal-vaging as much of the contents of thestore as were near to hand. A holewas broken.through one wall and skinsand acids were saved.
Insurance on Building
The building in which the fire startedis a long wooden one used as a dryingshed for wool and skins. It is insuredwith the New Zealand Insurance officeand its value was estimated bv anofficial of the company last night atapproximately £IOOO. One large load ofwool was taken out on Monday, and'another load was duo to go to-day.Altogether in the wool drying part ofthe store there were about 40 bales ofwool and a large quantity of loose woolspread out on tho floor.
THIRD OUTBREAK AT TANNERY
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN 1909
Tho fire last night was the thirdwhich has occurred at Sutherland'sTannery. Tho first was the most seri-ous, tho whole of the main buildingbeing destroyed on March 15, 1909,after tho outbreak had started at thewestern end. Last year, on May 17,one room at the northern boundary wasdestroyed, but tho outbreak was of aminor nature.
The tannery itself was originally abiscuit factory owned by Bycroft,Limited. It was later taken over byMr. R. Sutherland and converted intoa. fellmongcry, the old building gradu-ally being added to until most of itu\as destroyed by .the fire of 1900. Theportions which had been burned worerebuilt—mostly in concrete.
The drying shed, part of the build-ing which was burned last night, waserected about 25 years ago. The otherportion of the fellmongery which wasinvolved last night belonged to theorignal buildings and had escapeddestruction in the previous big fire.

WORK FOR NOTHINGUNEMPLOYED EESPOND
HELPING LEPER MISSION
NOTABLE WELLINGTON CASE
[BY TETjEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT]WELLINGTON, Tuesday
The Wellington office of the Stateplacement service recently was asked ifit could supply six men who were will-ing to work without pay. Such a requestwas unique, but when information re-garding it was displayed on the noticeboard every one of the fifty-odd menassembled at the placement office volun-teered for the job.
The call came from the Missionary
Sisters of the Society of Mary, whosowonderful self-sacrificing work at theleper station on the island of Makogaiin the Fiji group is so well known toresidents of New Zealand. I his 10-
ligious community has built, on thesomewhat steep slopes off Bolton Streetand Aurora •■•Terrace an institution forthe training of girls for religious andnursing services, and a rest house forthe nurses who need to recuperate aftera period of the arduous work involvedat Makogai.
On the Bolton Street section is agully that needed filling in, and thework upon which the volunteers were
to be engaged consisted in wheeling tothe gully a large quantity of heavyboidders to assist in the filling-inprocess. The city engineer lent sixwheelbarrows, and the six men selectedfor the task were soon energeticallyengaged. It was a full morning's work,and when it was completed the menfound that a local hotelkeeper had sentthem a very substantial dinner.

Whenthe call came they subordinated theirown needs in order to help those gallantwomen who are doing such noble workfor their stricken fellow-creatures.

CHEERS FROM WATERSIDERS
AN ESCORT OF AEROPLANESThree Air Force aeroplanes circling
in formation j>v.er the Aorangi andswooping down in salute gave New Zea-land's good-bye to the Minister ofFinance and Marketing, the Hon. W.Nash, on his departure for Englandyesterday afternoon.
The Minister spent a busy morningwith a long succession of callers, someof whom had business to discuss, whileothers simply desired to offer him theirgood wishes. "II 1 had had anothercouple of days in Auckland I couldhardly have got to the end of thosewho wanted to see mo," he remarkedafter boarding the liner.
Mr. Nash, however, found time toaccompany the Minister of InternalAffairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, on avisit to the proposed site of the newcentral fire station. The postponementof the Aorangi's departure until threeo'clock made things a little easier forhim, and he was aboard in good time toreceive more callers, among whom wasthe Mayor, Mr. Ernest Davis. Mrs.Nash's cabin was fiHod with flowers,and bouquets were also presented innumbers to the other ladies of theofficial party.
As it happened, ths departure wasfurther delayed, with the result thata good many of those who had cometo see the Minister off were obligedto go away. Mr. Nash stood for sometime at the rail, holding a red streamerwhich had been thrown to him, buteventually he fastened it to a stan-chion. Later he appeared with Mrs.Nash at the forward i?nd of the boatdeck.
As the linirr drew slowly out at 4.15o'clock a hundred or reore watersideworkers gathered on the berth and onan overhead bridge and loudly cheered."Talk straight to Stanley Baldwinwhen you get there," called one man,and another asked the Minister in aloud voice was the red flowerthat ought to have been in his button-hole. Mr. Nash responded by taking acrimson rose from his wife's bouquetand waving it above his head.
„
The aeroplanes circled round theliner as she went down the harbour, andthey were still in attendance when shedisappeared round North Head.
Before the Aorangi sailed Mr. Nashexpressed his gratitude for the kindlyfeeling that had been shown him bythe people of Auckland. He said thatthe goodwill of all sections of the com-munity was a great encouragement tohim on his mission

New Zealand time). There a tumultuous reception was givento her by thousands of enthusiastic people.
The New Zealand girl was escorted to the aerodrome by15 aeroplanes. On a specially erected dais, Australian andDominion officials paid high tributes to Miss Batten for herachievement in breaking the solo flight record from England to
Australia.In the course of an interview the young airwoman said she
was determined to fly across the Tasman to New Zealand, but
would not attempt it without making all the necessarypreparations and taking all precautions. She would remain inSydney a few days while the engine of her machine wasoverhauled.
Miss Batten remarked that she was flying to her home andthat her record flight to Darwin was only incidental.
"BRAVO, JEAN"CROWD'S GREETING
OFFICIAL TRIBUTES
SCENE AT AEEODROME
FLIGHT TO DOMINION
OVERHAUL OF MACHINE
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright(Received October 13. 8.5 p.m.)
SYDNEY, Oct. 13A tumultuous welcome was ac-
corded to Miss Batten by thousandsof people who had waited for herto arrive at Mascot aerodrome at2.35 p.m. to-day.
A formation of about 15 aero-planes of the New South WalesAero'' Club flew out over the har-bour and escorted her to the aero-drome, where sustained applausegreeted her neat landing.
Amid shouts of "Bravo, Jean," and"Well done New Zealand," Miss Bat-ten was led to the specially erectedofficial dais, -where Commonwealth.State, city and New Zealand officialspaid high tributes to her achievementin .breaking the solo flight record fromEngland.
Mr. W. Taylor, New Zealand Tradeand Tourist Commissioner, representedthe Dominion Government.
Miss Batten, who had been delayedby head winds throughout to-day'sflight from Queensland, said she wassorry she had kept the people waiting:
so long for her arrival, She remarked,to the delight of the crowd: "But, afterall, it is a woman's privilege to belate."
Intention of Flying to DominionThe girl .flier said the occasion re-
minded her of a similar scene of morethan two years ago, but this time shehad a much better machine and waspleased she had been able to put lip abetter' performance. She was particu-larly glad to arrive in Sydney on 6ucha lovelv day.
Interviewed by a representative ofthe United Press Association, Miss Bat-ten said she- was not particularly tired.She had had a good sleep last night,
ftevertheless, sho was glad there wasonly tho Tasman to be covered to com-plete her scheduled flight. She was de-termined to fly the Tasman, hut wouldnet attempt it without making all thenecessary preparations and taking allprecautions.
Miss Batten said she would remainin Sydney a few days while the engineof her aeroplane was thoroughly over-hauled, and woulrl then select a favour-able opportunity for tho Tasman flight.She had no intention of fixing a cer-tain day and then flying regardless ofthe weather.
Shorter Hop Than South AtlanticThe airwoman said she had every
confidence in the suitability of her aero-Diane for the project. It could take 144gallons of ]K?trol, which would give her aran of 2300 miles. Therefore, it wouldnot be necessary to load tho machine toits full capacity for the Tasman cross-ing.
Miss Batten pointed out that she isusing the machine in which she crossedthe South Atlantic, which was a longerhop than across the Taeman. She wasquite confident, although she would not»>ay the task would be easy.
"I would not say anything is easv,especially as far as navigation is con-cerned," continued Miss Batten.
Will Remain in New ZealandQuestioned regarding her future plans
Miss Batten said tiiat as far as sheknew sho would be remaining in NewZealand indefinitely. "That is myhome," she said, "and I am flyinghome/ My record flight was only inci-dental."
Converging with journalists, MissBatten mentioned that she had hadfour hours' sleep at Brindisi, threehours at Karachi, three at Akyab andfive at Koepang. That was all betweenEngland and Darwin. She said she hadspent six months in organising the flightand was delighted that everything hadgone so smoothly.
The airwoman's attention havingbeen drawn to the suggestion that shecould rest on her laurels now that shehad reached Australia and abandon theTasinan flight without loss of prestige,she remarked: "That is what every-body/said when I completed my firstflight to Australia."

Miss Batten landed at Longreachlast evening to the accompanimentof wild cheering from hundreds ofpeople who had rushed to theaerodrome.
Exhausted after battling withheadwinds from Darwin, and deaffrom the roar of the motor, MissBatten had tea in bed at a hoteland was asleep an hour after herarrival.
The young flier had hoped to reachCharleville before nightfall, but the25 miles an hour headwinds reduced herspeed.
Late in the afternoon the impossi-bility of reaching Charleville beforedusk became apparent, and prepara-tions were made to light the Long-reach aerodrome in case of a nightlanding there.
Immediately upon alighting MissBatten made a thorough inspection ofher machine. She declined to discussher trip beyond saying that the hopfrom Darwin had been "quite fair."
Leaving Longrcach at 5.45 a.m. to-day on the last 790 miles to Sydney,Miss Batten stopped at Charleville,where she had breakfast. She said shewas refreshed after her night's sleepat Longreach, but she showed signs offatigue. She left Charleville for Syd-ney at 9.15 a.m.

FLIGHT NOT FINISHED
FEW DAYS FOR OVERHAUL
"When I landed at Mascot this after-noon I achieved one of the greatestambitions of my life—flying from Lon-don to Sydney within about a week,"said Miss Jean Batten, whose talk froma Sydney wireless station was rebroad-cast over New Zealand national stationslast evening. '
"My flight of 5 days 2 hours was invery great contrast to my last solo tripof 14 days with 11 j hours of battlingeach day in my Gypsy Moth," con-tinued Miss Batten. "The weather thistime gave me a much better opportun-ity, and 1 had a more powerfulmachine with a speed of about 150miles an hour.
"it was very cheering to find sucha huge crowd waiting for me to-dayand to be given such a magnificent re-ception not only from the representa-tives of the Australian and New Zea-land Governments, but also from thepeople. 1 believe people had been wait-ing for me since early morning, andI am only sorry I could not havearrived sooner, but I encountered headwinds after leaving Longreach. Jn factthere had been very strong head windsever since J left Singapore.
"Within the next few days I will con-tinue my flight to New Zealand tor.although I have broken several recordsbetween England and Australia, 1 donot, consider inv flight is finished, and1 consider the breaking of these recordsonly incidental to the main flight toNew Zealand, which 1 want to be thefirst to link England with New Zea-land," said Miss Batten.
"I hope my latest flight will demon-strate onco again the reliability ofBritish aircraft and engines, and servethe purpose of helping people to realisethat aviation is not such a dangerousthing as they think. I hope the peopleof the countries over which I flow willbe more air-minded and think that,aviation is not something outstanding,but commonplace and safe." '

GOLD STANDARDNEW ARRANGEMENT
THREE-POWER PACT
CHECK TO SPECULATION
STABILISING CURRENCIESBy Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright
(Received October 13, 5.5 p.m.)WASHINGTON, Oct. 12
The Secretary of the Treasury,Mr. Henry Morgenthau, to-dayannounced a new type of gold stand-ard among the United States,Britain and France, based on a freeexchange of gold between theirrespective stabilisation funds.
The three-Power arrangement willbecome effective to-morrow. It doesnot establish fixed ratios for thecurrencies of the three countries, andgold transactions will not be per-mitted to individuals.
Mr. Morgenthau characterised thenew standard as a second step towardinternational stabilisation directlyresulting from the "gentlemen's agree-ment" of September 26. The chiefeffect would be to take the power oftrading in gold away from irresponsiblespeculators and vest it in the Govern-ment.
Other nations were welcome to enterthe agreement at any time. Thearrangement could be revoked unilater-ally on 21 hours' notice. The primarypurpose was to protect American busi-ivess from violent fluctuations of ex-changes. It would have no effect on thedomestic value of the dollar.
Gold to be TransferableMr. Morgenthau added that there
would be no sudden changes in the planbv tlie United States without consulta-tion with tlie other Powers. Gold wouldbe transferable among the three coun-tries through the central banks—namelythe Federal Reserve Bank, New York,as the Treasury's fiscal agent, the Bankof Fngland and the Bank of France.
Tlie United States would sell gold at35 dollars per fine ounce, plus onequarter per cent handling charges. Mr.Morgenthau said he had discussed thepact with President Roosevelt so it isassumed that the plan met with thePresident's approval.
The ratio of the dollar to the poundand the franc will be regulated by theinternational flow of commerce and ser-vices, by tlie cost of bullion in London,by the demand for the dollar, the francand the pound, and by other intricatefactors of the exchange market.
Day-to-Day Ratio ProbableApparently there will be a day-to-day
ratio for buying and selling. This secondstep, said Mr. Morgenthau, was "notthe final pattern of the picture." Itwas expected that out of the originalgentlemen's agreement would arise adefinite compact for international stab-ilisation with a fixod ratio of currencies.
Under the pact excessive paperbalances could be converted into gold.For example, if Britain was over-stocked with dollar exchange in theUnited States she could convert it intogold on application to the FederalReserve Bank in New York.
Mr. Morgenthau declined to saywhether the arrangement would meana reduction of America's goldsupply which on October 9 totalled10,979,000,000 dollars. Some quartersanticipate reductions which will notinjure America's credit.
DETAILS OF PLAN
EXCHANGE EQUALISATION
NEW METHOD OF CONTROL(Received October 13, 7.15 p.m.)
LONDON, Oct. 12It is officially announced that the
Treasuries of Britain, France andAmerica have agreed upon practicalmeasures for operating their exchangeequalisation funds in harmony. The aimis to maintain the greatest practicabledegree of stability between the pound,the dollar and the franc.
Financial Authorities point out thatthis is merely a logical sequel to theearlier announcement when the francwas devalued. Its importance lies inthe Government being able so promptlyto arrange to carry out its promiseof co-operation.
Sterling remains free, but the state-ment carries the "gentlemen's agree-ment" a step further, and, therefore,will be hailed as an encouraging event.
The announcement says that goldwill be obtainable in the United Statesin exchange for dollars by any countrywhich gives reciprocal facilities to theUnited States. A day to day workingarrangement should greatly facilitatethe technical operations of exchangecontrol.
The British Government has arrangedfor such facilities to be afforded to tin?United States authorities in Londonand lias made similar arrangementswith the Bank of France.
ACTION IN UNISONTECHNICAL OPERATIONS
STERLING FREE CURRENCY
(Received October 13, 6.5 p.m.)British Wireless RUGBY, Oct. 12
The Treasury announces that arrange-ments for technical co-operation withthe monetary authorities in the UnitedStates have been completed.
As in the ca«e of three declarationsmade by the Governments of Britain,the United States and France on Sep-tember 20, the monetary authorities ofthe three countries have acted in unisonregarding tho present arrangement,which is simply intended to facilitatetechnical operations. It involves nochange of policy, nor does it, in anyway, alter the fact that sterling is freecurrency.
Balances in New York arising frominterventions of exchange controls areto be exchanged for gold at a fixedprice. Similarly balances in London andParis will bo exchanged for gold onterms to be agreed upon in the lightof daily circumstances.

(Received October 13, 8.35 p.m.)LONDON, Oct. 12
Attacking " extreme pacifism "
before his Diocesan Conference, theArchbishop of Canterbury, Dr.Cosmo Lang, declared that it wasidle to suppose that a State wouldnot be attacked merely because itannounced beforehand that it wouldnot offer any resistance.
Some people would never beimpressed by non-resistance, saidthe Primate. They would merelytake advantage of it.
Dr. Lang added that completepacifism might bring greater evils thanthose it sought to avoid. The force ofan army, used in the defence of thepeople, was right, and that defenceincluded trade routes.
The Church made no departure fromChristian principles in saying that itwas lawful for Christians to fight injust wars.

GERMAN PROTEST"INSULT TO HITLER"
COMMUNIST SPEECHES
MEETINGS IN ALSACE�
ALLEGED MISQUOTATIONS
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright(Received October 13, ii.3.1 p.m.)
BERLIN, Oct. !•_>
The German Ambassador in Paris,Count von Welczeck, has beeninstructed formally to protest to theFrench Government regarding thespeeches of Communists in Alsaceon Sunday.
The chief offender is M. MauriceThorez, who is charged with havinginsulted Herr Hitler and the Germanpeople by quoting extract's from"Mein Kampf," and interpretingthem to mean that Herr Hitler issolely aiming at the annihilation ofFrance.
M. Thorez also reproached M. Blum,the French Premier, for "capitulatingto the blackmail of Hitler's agents" inlimiting the number of the Communistmeetings.
The Communist leader is furtheraccused of distorting Herr Hitler's"Winter Help" speech into a declara-tion that it was wholesome for theworker to go hungry so that Germanymight, by war, have an opportunity ofregaining her former position in theworld.
The newspapers have launched a
united attack on M. Thorez, who isdenounced as "a liar, slanderer and asub-human scoundrel."
Maurice Thorez, who was once a farmlabourer and later a miner, is Secre-tarv-General of the French CommunistParty and a member of the Chamber ofDeputies. .
M. Thorez is responsible for the planto unite the parties of the Left forelectoral purposes. His proposal to forma "Popular Front" to oppose to theforces heading for Fascism was madein a speech at Nantes in October, 1934,as an outcome of the sanguinary riotsin Paris in February of that year. Heaccused the Fascists of having tried toseize power on that occasion.
M. Thorez's suggestion rapidly gainedfavour among the leaders of the otherradical parties. Their tactics—the with-drawal of the less promising candidatesin any constituency to leave the fieldfor any nominee of the "Front"—gained for them a substantial majorityin the Chamber at the elections of lastMay.

MANUFACTURE OF ARMS
BRITISH COMMISSION
NATIONALISATION OPPOSED
Timps Cable LONDON, Oct. 12
The Times says the report of theRoyal Commission on the manufactureof arms is in the hands of the Govern-ment. It is understood that it opposesnationalisation, pointing out that thiswould require a special labour reserve.Also there would be a danger of bring-ing arms into the field of politics.
The report suggests that the Gov-ernment should take full control of themunition-making business and also con-script capital immediately war breaksout.
The commission says it does not feelthat private manufacture has led togreat abuse but it proposes stricter con-trol, including the appointment of aMinister to supervise contracts.
A further suggestion is stricter con-trol of exports to semi-civilised conn-tries and measures to ensure that theGovernment is fully informed of newinventions offered to private manufac-turers.

BOATS STILL IDLEFISHING DISPUTE
MEN REJECT OFFER
APPEALS TO GOVERNMENT
POSITION 0P CITY SUPPLY
No settlement was reached yester-day in tho dispute between tho ownersand crews of tho Auckland seine-notfishing fleet, and tho wholesale fishmerchants, and as .a result the "stayashore" movement begun on I'riday isstill in operation. An oftor by tho mer-chants to pay ljd per lb. as a tem-porary measure, pending the setting upof a Government commission, was re-fused by tho fishermen, who are stilldeterminod to stay ashore until theyreceive 2d per lb. for schnapper.
Both the merchants and tho fisher-men have communicated with thePrime .Minister and several Ministers,asking that there should be an immedi-ate investigation of conditions in thefishing industry.
The "stay ashore" movement hasnow been in operation for five days,and is likely to have a serious effectupon the city's fish supplies if it isprolonged. There are sufficient suppliesof fresh fish for the remainder of theweek, but they aro not plentiful. If thedispute is not settled next week, therewill be no fish available for the coun-try, and only enough for local require-ments, while the export trade will bepractically at a standstill.
Hospital Requirements' A fish dealer stated yesterday thatthere was no cause for anxiety aboutfish supplies this week, although therewould be a shortage in some lines.Several of the seine-net boats hadbrought in fish since the "stay ashore"movement begun, and a steam trawlerhad brought in 400 baskets, whichwould help to fill the demand. Nextweek the trawlers would still be operat-ing. and the same quantity of fishwould probably be available. As far ashospitals were concerned, there wouldbo sufficient fresh fish available to meettheir requirements, but next weekthe onus might bo on them to acceptfrozen fish. Tho stocks in the freezerswere probably sufficient to last twoweeks.
Tho fishermen have indicated thatthey intend to ask the crews of thesteam trawlers operating out of Auck-land to stay ashore if the dispute con-tinues, but' tho dealer stated that hedid not think this would happen as thetwo sections were distinctly separate,and had nothing in common.
Merchants' OfferA meeting of the wholesale fish mer-
chants was held yesterday morning, andthe following statement was issued ontheir behalf:—"The wholesale fish mer-chants met to consider proposals fromtho seine boat fishermen, who are de-manding 2d per lb. for all schnapperdelivered into the Auckland markets.After consideration, tho wholesale mer-chants, who were unanimous, offeredlid per lb. for all schnapper and tere-kihi, as a temporary measure only,pending the setting up of a Governmentcommission.
"During the last six months theprice paid to fishermen has been gener-ally advanced by an amount which rep-resents up to the present an increaseof 40 per cent. As the fish merchants'offer has not been accepted by thefishermen, the merchants have re-quested the Government to set up acommission and to treat the matteras urgent."
The fish merchants have communi-cated .with the Prime Minister, theMinister of Marine, the Hon. P.Fraser, the Minister of Employment,the Hon. H. T. Armstrong, and theMinister of Industries and Commerce,the Hon. D. G. Sullivan.
The Case for the Men"The price is not acceptable to the
fishermen, and even the price of 2dper lb. would not be acceptable onthose terms," stated Mr. T. F. Ander-son, secretary of the seine-net fisher-men's section of the Auckland Feder-ated Seamen's Union, when comment-ing yesterday upon the fish merchants'offer. '
Mr. Anderson said that the condi-tion to which the fishermen objected•was that tho individual marketswished to reserve the right to imposelimits as they desired. This meantthat each market could put a limit onthe amount of fish that it would takeat the price offered. If any generalregulation was laid down, however, itwould be a different matter altogether.
Letters asking the Government toinstitute immediately a comprehen-sive investigation of the fishing tradehave been sent by the fishermen tothe Prime Minister and the Ministersof Marine, and Industries and Com-merce.
Catches UnloadedThree bSats that arrived during
Monday evening unloaded their catchesyesterday morning without any objec-tion being raised by tho guards offishermen who have been keepingwatch on all boats since the disputestarted. Only one seine-net boat, asfar as can be ascertained, is still atsea.
There has been no trouble since thedispute began, but some excitementwas created yesterday afternoon whena boat belonging to one of the mar-kets was taken out from the wharfto the slip. The men on watch thoughtthat the boat was being taken out tosea, and tried to keep it tied up, butM go the ropes when cautioned bya constable.
One of the proposals discussed by thefishermen yesterday was that if thedispute lasted much longer the boatsshould go out and catch fish whichshould be sold direct to the public atthe market landings, Devonportwharf, or any other place where therewas a demand, the proceeds to he de-voted to a fund for the assistance offishermen in financial" difficulties as aresult of the dispute. Such sales offish would bo a djrect breach of theby-laws of the City Council and the
' Auckland Harbour Board, however,and it is thought unlikely that tho by-laws would be broken. Tho matter alsohas not been discussed by a mass meet-ing of tho fishermen.

PATIENT'S AIR TRIP
BOY FROM GREAT BARRIER
FLYING-BOAT TO AUCKLANDTwo St. John Ambulance officers
stood outside their headquarters inRutland Street, City, at 11 o'clock yes-terday morning, watching a flying-boatflying low. The machine then dronedtoward the waterfront, and an ambu-lance sped down Queen Street, itsmission to convey to a private hos-pital a five-year-old boy, suffering fromacute appendicitis, who had been apassenger in tho flying-boat from GreatBarrier Island.
The boy, George Mcdland, son of Mr.and Mrs. S. Medland, of Tryphena,Great Barrier Island, was transferredto the ambulance from tho ilying-boatwhich landed in tho Waitemata Har-bour ami taxied to tho Admiraltysteps. An operation was performedon the boy in hospital, his conditionlater being described as satisfactory.
When the child became ill arrange-ments were made for the despatch ofthe flying-boat Cutty Sark from thoHobsonville air base, the machineleaving at 8.30 a.m. and landing inOmawharo Bay, Great Barrier Island,less than half an hour later, in spite ofrain and bad visibility. The boy wascarried a mile from his home to thebeach on an improvised stretcher. Thoflying-boat had taxied in close to thebeach, and tho boy was taken out tothe machine in a rowing boat.
A message had been sent, arrangingfor an ambulance to meet tho flvine-boat. at the Admiralty steps at 11.15,but the craft arrived earlier, andcircled over the ambulance station be-fore landing in tho harbour.
Also a passenger in the craft wasthe boy's father, who became ill withappendix trouble a year ago, when howas conveyed to Auckland by launch.It is a coincidence that Mr. Medland'sniece, aged two years and 10 months,was brought to Auckland from GreatBarrier Island by the Cutty Sark twoweeks ago, for admission to hospital,the child having suffered an injury tothe neck.

WANG AN U I'S HOUSING NEEDS
LABOUR MEMBER'S WARNING[BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION]
WAN'JANUI, TuesdayA public mooting of wide interest
last night was attended by nine Labourmembers of Parliament. The purposeof the meeting was to stress tho majorneeds of Wanganui city and'districtin tho hope that tho legislators wouldnot be without a first-hand knowledgeof the future possibilities of this part ofNew Zealand. According to the princi-pal speeches, the two major needs oftho city aro closer settlement and theerection of increased housing accom-modation by the use of interest-freemoney created by the Reserve Bank.
Mr. J. Siddclls advocated an intensecloser settlement scheme, even if itmeant State action to acquire thonecessary land.
Mr. P. JO. I. ingov staunchly sup-ported what bo believed to bo anobvious intention on tho part of theGovernment to create £5,000,000 ofintorest-froo credit for housing. Hoestimated Wanganui's sharo of thatsum at £IOO.OOO.
Mr. A. S. Richards, M.P. for I?os-kiII, and Senior Government Whip, inanswer to Mr. Siddells, stated thatWanganui had perhops not suffered anymore than other centres in respect tosettlement. Tho problem of New Zea-land was not one of increasing pro-duction, but of increasing consumption.1 o Mr. Tmgey, Mr. Richards issued awarning that unless the production ofgoods and- services absolutely equatedtho amount of the national dividend itwas proposed to issue, tho countrywould have troubles many times worsethan at present. Mr. Tingoy and thosesupporting the Douglas theory were tooimpatient.

NEW CITY STREETOLD POST OFFICE SITE
WIDENING PLAN ABANDONED
ACQUISITION OF EXTRA STRIP
GOVERNMENT BUILDING CERTAIN
The abandonment of the proposalthat tho city should acquire furtherland on the old Shortland Street postofliee site in addition to the 40ft. re-quired for the new connecting streetbetween Shortland and Fort Streets,was decided on by tho City Councillast night, following a report from theMayor, Mr. Ernest Davis.
"After careful consideration of everyaspect of the position, tho closestexamination of all the alternatives,and almost continuous negotiationswith the Government, I have come totho conclusion that tho proposal mustIx 3 abandoned," said the Mayor."With this opinion the Minister ofPublic Works, the Hon. It. Seinple, isin agreement, and, subject to the coun-cil's willingness to withdraw its requestfor an additional 6ft. strip of tho laudfor widening tho new connectingstreot, it is certain that the Govern-ment will proceed with tho erection ofan administrative building 011 thesite."
Expert Advice ObtainedIt had been proposed that tho council
should acquire the area adjoining the40ft. strip and explore the possibilitiesof rebuilding Victoria Arcade on theShortland Street frontago and extend-ing it on tho residue of the old postoffico site.
No effort wns spared to obtain thebest expert arlvire from representativesof the commercial community, the RealEstate Instituto and tho Institute ofArchitects, and detailed calculationswere prepared, the Mayor stated. ThoGovernment carefully considered acquir-ing other land for the accommodationof its departments, but decided thatoffers for properties under review wor£too high.
The result of tho investigations wasa realisation that tho rebuilding ofVictoria Arcade would not bo, at thepresent time, a commercial propositionfor the city. As an alternative, therehad been discussions with the object offacilitating the rebuilding of the arcadeon its own sito in a design conformingto that of tho projected new Govern-ment building, should tho council inthe future decide upon such a scheme.
Necessity for WithdrawalBefore the Government could again
consider erecting its administrativeblock on tho site, continued Mr. Davis,the council must withdraw its requestfor the additional 6ft. strip. He hadbeen forced to tho opinion it should dothis, tho main factors being thatwithout this strip tho Governmentwould not be in a position to erect itsbuilding, and that, as tho new streetwould in any case bo sft. Gin. widerthan High Street, it would be unfairto place Government at the dis-advantage which would result from thecouncil's persisting in its applicationfor the additional width.
"No issue since my assumption of thoMayoralty has demanded from me suchconcentrated attention as this par-ticular one," said the Mayor, whoadded that he was satisfied everythingpossible had been done. Ho wished tothank those consulted, the councilofficers, the Minister of Public Worksand the heads of his departments fortheir co-operation.
Tho Mayor's report was adopted.

for tho preservation of bush and theplanting of suitable trees along mainhighways was mentioned yesterday bythe Minister of Internal Affairs, theHon. W. 10. Parry.
Several conferences on both subjectshad been held in recent months, saidtho Minister, and others would follow.A scheme was being drawn up, but'atthe present stage lie could not give anydetails of what was proposed. Whenthe plan had been further elaboratedand bad been submitted to the Govern-ment he hoped to be able to say more.
The Governor-General, Viscount Gal-way, has already shown bis interest inthe preservation and planting of nativeilora, and it is understood that thomovement now on foot has the activesupport of the Prime Minister, Mr.Savage, and the Commissioner of StateForests, the Hon.

TheGovernment is assured of support fromhorticultural and beautifying societies,and it js expected that a widespreadeffort will bo made to secure the co-operation of local authorities' in townand country.
FERRY BUILDINGINADEQUATE RETURN
OPINION OF CHAIRMAN
HARBOUR BOARD DISCUSSION
The fact that tho Ferry Building wasnot showing an adequate return for thecapital invested was stressed by thechairman of the Auckland HarbourBoard, Mr. C. G. Macindoe, when thosuggestion that tho building should bopulled down was discussed again at yes-terday's meeting.
Tlio question was raised by Mr. Har-vey Turner, who asked whether thostatement made by tho chairman attho last meeting to tho effect that hewould be glad to see the Ferry Build-ing demolished in order to improve thowaterfront represented the opinion ofthe board. Quito a number of peopleseemed to feel that it was tho opinionof the board, and ho thought the chair-man should make a statement about it.
Mr Macindoe said he had never ex-pressed that opinion as tho opinion oftho board, but ho had stated re-peatedly that the Ferry Building shouldnever have been put there in thofirst place. Tho building had cost thoboard over £BO,OOO, and to-day it was
not worth more than £40,000. The re-turn from it as rental was insignificant.
"I don't think it is a blot on thowaterfront, but J do think it shouldbe the policy of tho board not to buildon the waterfront where tho view of thopublic is likely to be obscured," con-tinued tho chairman. "If it was not forthat building we would have done awaywith tho railway lines along thostreets."
Mr. Macindoe added that whateverhe had remarked about the Ferry Build-ing was his own opinion.
Mr. A. S. Sutherland pointed outthat tho chairman had said that thoreturns from tho building were practi-cally nil, and his remarks had been fol-lowed by a report from the superin-tendent that there was a fair rental.
Mr. Macindoe: I still stand by mystatement that tho return from thebuilding is infinitesimal, and not a suf-ficient return for tho board to expecton its investment. The return on thevalue of the building is not more than3 per cent, and if tho value of the land—£32,ooo—is taken into account, Idoubt if we aro getting 1 per cent.
After further discussion, it was de-cided that a report should be preparedgiving details of tho cost of the build-ing, the return from it, and the valueof the land.
WAITAKERE DRIVE
PLACEMENT OF WORKMEN
COMPLAINT AT NEW LYNNException to the method of placing
men on tho Waitakere Drivo projectused by the employment division of theDepartment of Labour was taken bythe Mayor, Mr. G. Lawson, at a meet-ing of the' New Lvnn Borough Council.The department had advised the coun-cil that men were placed at work onthe drive in proportion to the contri-bution each borough had made to thecost of tho scheme.
Such a method was hardly fair to thesmall local bodies, who were unable tomake a large contribution to.the fund,and who had many able men close totho work, said Mr. Lawson. The workwas a national one and the Governmentwas finding most of the money.
The council decided to approach theMinister of Public Works, the Hon. It.Somple, and tho Hon. H. G. It. Masonon the subject.

PLUNKET SHIELD MATCHES
[DY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION]INVERCARGILL, Tuesday
A docision not to support the pro-posal of tho Manawatu Cricket Asso-ciation to have established a fifth Plun-ket Shield district was niado by themanagement committee of the South-land Cricket Association to-night.
In reporting on the subject the sub-committee said it thought that a bettorway to bring forth the capabilities ofthe minor associations was to organisoHawko Cup matches.
The chairman, Mr. H. Grace, com-mented on what he said appearod tobe the selfish attitude of the ManawatuAssociation, and suggested that the pro-posal by tho Auckland Association toprovide for better conditions in minorassociations' cricket was more to South-hind's liking.

aro exhausted of three denominationsof the special commerce stamps. Thesearo tho 2.Jd, 4d and Gd issues. Thodepartment, in order specially to marktho distinctive occasion of the first hold-ing in Now Zetland of tho Empire con-ference of tho Federation of Chambersol Commerce of tho British Empiro,prepared a specnal issue of commemora-tive stamps of five denominations, andin ordering supplies endeavoured toestimate on tho basis of tho normalmonth's sales, together with a reason-able excess to moot tho possible de-mands ol collectors, as it was recog-nised that a certain amount of inter-est is always taken in any new stampissue. No official "first covers" wereprepared.
It was evident, however, by tho de-mand for first-day impressions at thespecial congress post office, that inter-est in the commerce stamps was ex-ceptionally keen, and about 40,000first-day impressions wore handled,these covers in tho majority of casesbearing full sets of stamps. This in-dicated a very unusual demand fortho higher values, and tho extraordi-nary extent of it can bo gauged bytho following comparison of tho nor-mal monthly stamp sales of those valueswith the numbers of commerce stampsordered for tho special issue and rap-idly sold out: —

LOADING DELAYEDSTEAMER AT ISLANDS
WEATHER CAUSES TROUBLE
STAY OF OVER EIGHT WEEKS
After an exceptionally prolonged stayof 58 days loading her cargo of 6600tons of guano at Seychelles Islands, thesteamer Reynolds arrived at Aucklandyesterday afternoon.
The cargo was loaded at the islandsof Astove, St. Pierre and Providence,in tho Seychelles Group, and the load-ing operations wore delayed at eachplace by continued spells of stormyweather, which prevented the lightersfull of guano reaching the Reynolds atthe anchorages at St. Pierre and Provi-dence. At Astovo tho depth of water,90 fathoms, was too great for thesteamer to anchor, and she had tostoam slowly about the anchoragewhile loading operations were beingcarried out there.
Although the steamer's stay in thegroup was so long, she was unable toobtain a full cargo, and she eventuallysailed for Auckland with a consider-able amount of empty space in herholds. The voyage from Seychelles toAuckland occupied 42 days, and was un-eventful.
After unloading 2600 tons of thecargo at King's Wharf, the Reynoldswill proceed to Dnnedin and Wanganuito complete discharge.
APPEAL TO YOUNG MEN
NATIONAL PARTY'S TASK
FIGHT AGAINST SOCIALISM
[BY TKLKGKAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION]MASTERTON, Tuesday
An ap])Oiil to young people to come
to the aid of the National Party inmaking New Zealand as good a countryto live in as it had boon was utteredby Mr. J. Hargest, M.P. for Awarua,speaking at a meeting of supporters ofthe party in Masterton.
Mr. Hargest said the Opposition inthe House was putting up a dogged butat present hopeless fight against legis-lation for which the country would haveto suffer. In less than one year Labourrule in tho Dominion had gone furtherin revolutionary Socialism than anyEuropean country except Russia hadgone. In that time the Government hadbroken promises regarding the reduc-tion of taxation, the exchange rate andthe use of the public credit. It hadgone to unheard-of lengths in assumingdictatorial powers flatly inconsistentwith democratic principles.
Mr. Hargest said the policy of theNational Party had yet to be deter-mined by its members in conference.Its appeal was to the young peoplewho were prepared to fight revolution-ary socialism. No generation of youngNew Zealanders could .fall heirs to abso-lute security and prosperity. They mustmake those things for themselves. Some60 young and able men were needed tocontest seats at the next election, saidMr. Hargest.
MARRIED 65 YEARS
MR. AND MRS. W. C, PENMAN
A LARGE FAMILY TREEWith a family tree of 81, including
nine married sons and daughters, 33grandchildren and 19 great-grand-children, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Penmancelebrated the 65th anniversary of theirwedding yesterday at their home at 63Murdoch ltoad, Grey Lynn, where theyhave lived ever since their arrival inAuckland in January, 1902. The mar-riage took place on October 13, 1871,at Kirkcaldy, Scotland, and the anni-versary yesterday was also Mrs. Pen-man's 85th birthday.
Nine of the family of 14 are stillalivo and resident in Auckland, wherethree of the older members arrivedthree years before Mr. and Mrs. Pen-man and six of their children came toNow Zealand. Until ten years ago,when he retired, Mr. Penman' followedhis occupation as an engineer's patternmaker. The family claims tho uniquerecord of having had 50 members asso-ciated with one church, the Church ofChrist, West Street, Newton.
BOYS ON THE LANDMIGRATION PROPOSAL
A WORD OF CAUTION
Further comment on tho proposalthat a Fnirbridgo farm school for chil-dren from England should bo estab-lished at Flock Houso was made yes-terday by Mr. H. S. W. King, of Auck-land, who has just returned fromabroad, Mr. King said that this veryquestion was discussed by tho migra-tion committee of the Royal EmpireSociety at its summer school at Oxfordlast year. Mr. King was one of threeNew Zealanders present, and all of themdrew attention to the fact that condi-tions in New Zealand were differentfrom those'in Westorn Australia, wheretho Fail-bridge School had proved sucha success.
In Mr. King's view the responsibilitydevolving on those who brought outchild immigrants so far from theirhomes was very great unless they couldbe certain that when the lads requiredto tako up permanent employment theopenings would be there for them. NewZealand farmers had not found it easyin recent years to afford to employboys, and tho scale of wages fixed bytho present Government had made itmuch more difficult. In Western Aus-tralia there had boon no difficulty ofthis kind, for the Government had beenassisting in every way, and farmerswere looking for the children as soonas they were ready to leave the school.
If it was proposed in New Zealandto provido ft capital sum to enable thoboys eventually to own their own farmsthat would put tho proposal on a securefooting, Mr. King said. As it was, thesummer school which Mr. King at-tended at Oxford decided that tho timewas not then opportune for sendingout child migrants to New Zealand.

HIGHER PRICESBUILDERS' SUPPLIESSHORTAGE OF MATERIALS
FIRMS' OPERATIONS AFFECTED
AUSTRALIA'S HOLD ON MARKET
Not only are builders' suppliessteadily increasing in price, hut dif-ficulties are arising in obtaining cer-tain materials. One Auckland manu-facturing concern, which is dependenton materials from Australia which forthe time being cannot be obtained, pro-poses to close a portion of its workstemporarily. »
Due to overseas advances, corrugatediron has risen on the Auckland mar-ket from £29 to £3O a ton, whileplain iron, used by plumbers largely,lias advanced by £2 a ton, the newprice being £34. White lead has risenby £2 a ton. Overseas mails receivedyesterday conveyed the intimation thatspades and shovels had advanced by 10per cent. When this rise takes effectin Auckland it will be about 20 percent, for such factors have to he takeninto consideration as £25 per cent ex-change, extra duty, extra insurance,etc. Thus hoop iron, which has goneup by 10s a ton overseas, will be £1dearer here.
Owing to heavy orders in Englandfor munitions, it is not possible to in-dent machine tools promptly in suf-ficient quantity. An interesting advicereceived by merchants in yesterday smail was that the British Government,which is intent on preventing profit-eering in munitions, is restrictingprofits, determining prices so that nomore than 10 per cent profit is to bemade on cost.
New Zealand is now dependent onAustralia for all structural steel andround mild steel and deliveries arelagging to an extent that is embar-rassing industry. It is expected, how-ever, that when the Port Kembla worksare in operation again orders will befulfilled, for these works are to pro-duce 10,000 tons of finished productsa week. These works were controlledby a subsidiary of an English firm andcame under the shadow of the cloudedfortunes of the parent company. BrokenHill Proprietary, Limited, has now ab-sorbed the share capital, and is or-ganising production on a bigger scalethan formerly.It is now impossible for English
concerns to compete successfully againstAustralia in steel supplies, it is stated.Even if the exchange, which gave Aus-tralian industry a great impetus ontho New Zealand market, were nowremoved, the Australian steel indus-try "considers it could still hold themarket.

PARLIAMENT IN SESSIONGOOD PROGRESSMORE LEGISLATIONCONTROL OF DENTISTS
INTRODUCTION OF BILL
A CURTAILED SITTING}
[BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER]\\ ELLINGTON, Tuesday
In spite of a short sitting a satis-factory volume of business was trans-acted by the House of Representativesto-day.
In the afternoon obituary tributeswere paid to two former legislators, thelate, Mr. F. F. Hockly, former M.P.for Rotorua, and the late Mr. A. F,Hawke, a former member of the Legis-lative Council. Ihe House then ad-journed until the evening as a markof respect.
Subsequently the second reading ofthe Industrial Efficiency Bill was com-pleted and the Railways AuthorisationBill, providing for the construction ofthe Turakina-Okoia deviation on the"Wellington-New Plymouth railway, wasput through all its stages and passed.
Another feature of the day's pro-ceedings was the introduction byGovernor-General's Message in theevening of the Dentists Bill, the mainfunction of which is to establish aDental Council to bo a registeringauthority and to exercise certain dis-ciplinary powers over practising den-tists. The bill, which is substantiallythe same as legislation winch has beenon the stocks for several years, wasread a second time pro ifonna and re-ferred to the Health Committee. Thereis a feeling that it may not be pro-ceeded with this session.
The main poiut in the speech of theMinister of Industries and Commerce,the Hon. D. G. Sullivan, which con-cluded the second reading of the Indus-trial Efficiency Bill, was his promise ofthe introduction of two amendments toallovr industrial plans to be submittedto the industries concerned before thevare put into operation, and to providefor the compensation of industrieswhich ina\ be forced out of existenceas the result of rationalisation.

STATE HOUSING PLANSTIMULUS TO BUILDING
WORK FOR TRADESMENThe stimulus which the Government
housing scheme will give to the build-ing industry should have the effect ofdiverting to it many tradesmen at pre-sent engaged on Public Works Depart-ment jobs under the different reliefschemes. Mr. H. Campbe I.', secretary tothe Auckland Trades and Labour Coun-cil, said yesterday that it might alsoattract Australian workers over .here,because the building industry in Aus-tralia was in a fairly low state. Hodid not think there was any great dan-ger of their supplanting Newlanders.
Ihere had been the suggestion thatthe Government might launch itsscheme without giving duo warning, ho®dded, but that was unlikely. In allprobability the scheme would gradu-ally he carried out, first in the centres,t(> which tradesmen would naturallygravitate. No doubt some Australiantradesmen would tnke advantage oftlio opportunities that were likely to"rise, but it was equally likelv that-New Zealanders would be kept4"wellinformed

For thispurpose it is proposed to establish aDental Council which will be the re-gistering authority and which, in addi-tion, will exercise certain disciplinarypowers over practising dentists.

The necessary qualifications for theregistration of dentists are laid downin the bill. A dentist must hold a de-gree 111 dental surgery conferred by theI Diversity of New Zealand, or any otherBritish university, or a foreign univer-sity approved by the council. No per-son is to be qualified for registrationif lie has been convicted of an offencepunishable by imprisonment for twoyaers or more, or if he is not of reput-able character.
The Senate of the University of NewZealand is given extended power to pre-scribe courses of study, examinationsand the granting of certificates in den-tistry.

cil provisional practising certificatesmay be issued to dentists for termsnot exceeding three months. Only den-tists registered by the council or hold-ing provisional certificates are to beentitled to practise dentistry and ' afine of £IOO is laid down as the pen-alty for a breach of this provision.
However, medical practitioners arenot to be prevented from performingdental operations where the services ofa dentist are not available, and otherexceptions are laid down to coverspecial cases.

carrying on the business of dentistryfor at least 12 months are to be allowedto continue under the new legisla-tion, but provision is made for the ulti-mate extinction of company dentistry.All members of a company will haveto be registered dentists and authorityfor the continuation of business willcease if any person other than a regis-tered dentist becomes a member ofthe company, or if the membershipis increased after the passing of thebill.
No company is to be permitted tocarry on business after Jhe expirationof 10 years from the date when thelast of its members ceased to be amember.
Penalties for offences against theseprovisions are fixed at a .fine of £IOO,with an additional fine of £5 for everyday on which the offence continuesafter conviction.

MORE CONTROLMINISTER EXPLAINS
INTERESTS OF DENTISTRY
NO PRESSURE BY GOVERNMENT
[BY TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER.]WELLINGTON, Tuesday
The statement that the Dentists Dillwould provide for more efficient con-trol of the profession was made by theMinister of Health, the Hon. P. V'raser,in speaking on the introduction of thebill in the House of Representativesto-night.
"The bill is very much the same asthat promised to the dentists last yearby Sir Alexander Young, then Xiin-ister of Health," said the Minister."1 propose that it should be read asecond time pro forma and referredto the Health Committee of theHouse."
The Leader of the Opposition, theRt. H.m. G. W. Forbes, asked whetherthe bill was the same as others whichhad been before the House in recentyears.
"The purpose of the bill is reallyto consolidate the Act," replied Mr.1' raser. Jfc will provide for a certainamount of control over companydentistry and will also deal tvith ad-vertising and other matters, it is notexactly a bill by which the Govern-ment stands or falls."
Mr. R. A. Wright (Independent—Wellington Suburbs): If the Govern-ment is behind the bill that meansthat it will bo pn.,r,od.
Mr. ]<raser: That is so, but thereare bills on which the Government doesnot stake its existence.
Mr. \\ right: Is the bill to exclude acertain section of the dentists who donot agreo with the executive?
"It certainly provides for more effi-cient control of the profession," saidMr. Fraser. "It will also have theeffect of preventing certain practicesnot in the interests of dentistry, suchas advertisements which misrepresentthe position. When the bill is beforethe Health Committee all interestedparties will have an opportunity to givec\ idence. The Health Committee canmake its recommendation whether ornot the bill should proceed, and it willthen be submitted to the House with-out any Governmental pressure what-ever."
The bill was read a second time proforma and referred to the HealthCommittee.
RAILWAY DEVIATION
WELLINGTON-NEW PLYMOUTH
AUTHORISING BILL PASSED[B\ TELEGKAFH—SPECIAL REPORTER]
f WELLINGTON, TuesdayThe proposed deviation of the Well-ington-New Plymouth railway line be-tween Turakma and Okoia is expectedto save the Government £4IOO in work-
ing costs. This was stated bv theMinister of Public Works, the' Hon.It. Seniple, in opening the second read-ing debate on the Railways Authorisa-tion Pill in the House of Representn-tives to-night. The bill gives the Gov-ernment authority to construct thedeviation."This bill proposes to do some-thing which has been talked about for
between .'3O and 40 years," Mr. Seniplesaid, "Everyone who has travelledthrough the North Island is familiarwith the proposal to deviate the linebetween Ttirakina and Okoia and isfamiliar with the necessity for thework. Previous Governments have dis-cussed the proposal, but for some un-known reason have been unable to geta start. Now we have reached a stagein this country where it has becomenecessary to take a real survey of theroading and railway system, with theidea of discovering any weaknesses anddealing with them as speedily as pos-sible."
In attempting to find work for theunemployed, Mr. Semple said, it wasnecessary for the Government to findsome type of work which, when com-pleted, would leave behind an' assetin the way of national service. TheGovernment had arrived at the con-clusion that the deviation was a workof that type and was necessary to im-prove the general railway system. Thedeviation woidd shorten the route bytwo ind a-half miles, would providea better grade at a lower level, andwould give a job which would absorb55 per cent of the cost in labourcharges.
The total cost would be £500,000.A total saving of £-1100 would beeffected every year in maintenance andrunning costs, and when fully mannedthe job would provide work for about400 men for at least two and a-halfyears. Questioned bv the Leader ofthe Opposition, the Rt Hon. G. W.Forbes, Mr. Semple stated that half ofthe total cost of the work would befound from the Employment Fund.
Mr. Forbes: I am not finding anyfault wit'i that.
Mr. Semple: But the interest billon the sum found bv the EmploymentFund will not be passed on to the rail-ways, vou can be sure of that.
The 'Minister of Railways, the Hon.D. G. Sullivan: A few thousand a yearwill be saved in costs.
Mr. Semple: And at the same timewe will get a better service
Several Government and Opposi-tion speakers supported the proposal,after which the bill was put throughall stages and passed.

ERECTION ON OLD WHARF SITE
The erection of a suitable boat land-ing, with steps, on the site of the oldPonsonbv Wharf for the use of yachts-men and others, was asked for by 83Ponsonby residents in a letter receivedby the Auckland Harbour Board at itsmeeting yesterday.
The acting superintendent, Mr. D.Holderness, reported that to constructa landing 300ft. long and sft. wide withsteps as suggested would cost about£925, but if the jetty was made 220ft.long only, which would reduce thedepth of water available by 3in., thecost of the completed structure wouldbe reduced to about £775.
Mr. Holderness added that the land-ing would be a great convenience tolocal residents and yachtsmen, but itwas for the board to decide whether itwas justified.
The board decided to deal with therequest when the estimates were underconsideration next month.
SMALL CHANGE
INDUSTRIES BILLCHANGES TO BE MADE
COMPENSATION CLAUSE
REORGANISATION PLANS
PROVISION FOR CONSULTATION[uv TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER]
WELLINGTON, TuesdayImportant amendments to the Indus-
trial Efficiency Bill were announced bythe Minister of Industries and Com-merce, tlm Hon. D. G. Sullivan, duringhis reply to the second reading debateon the measure in the House of Repre-sentatives to-night.
Two of the amendments, said theMinister, were designed to meet ob-jections by representatives of the manu-facturing industries since the bill madeits appearance in the House. One pro-Aided that before any plan for the re-organisation of any section of industrywas put into operation the proposalswould first be submitted to the indus-try concerned. The other provided forcompensation by an industry toexisting units which might be closeddown as a result of the adoption ofschemes of co-ordination.
Tho bill was read a second time andthe amendments are to be introducedin the Committee stage.
Reception of ProposalsAfter thanking members of the Op-
position for suggestions for improvingtho bill, Mr. Sullivan said he was en-titled to comment on the notable ab-sence of criticism of the legislationthroughout the country. The only realopposition outside the House had comefrom the Auckland and Dunedin Cham-bers of Commerce, which, however, weremainly concerned with the effect of thelegislation on imports competing withlocal manufactures. Even in the objec-tions raised by the Opposition there wasa recognition that something of whatwas proposed in the bill was necessary.
Mr. Sullivan said he regarded thobill as of such major importance as al-most to transcend party considerations.Even the amendment introduced lastweek by the Leader of the Oppositionaccepted tho principle that reorganisa-tion of industry iii tho Dominion wasnecessary.
Mr. S. G. Holland (Opposition—Christchurch North): The amendmentdid not approve of bureaucratic controlof industry.
Action Deemed Essential" The amendment merely narrowed
tho scope of the bill," said Mr. Sulli-van, "and proposed that it should bemore specific in its application to in-dustry. All of the speeches bv Opposi-tion members agreed that we cannotallow our industries to drift along with-out assistance."
The Minister added that he was em-phatically of opinion that the bill wasrequired in order to give the manufac-turing industries of Now Zealand achance of holding their own againstcompetition from overseas. The Gov-ernment did not intend to browbeat in-dustry, but to co-operate with it intho direction of giving it greaterstrength and efficiency.
Mr. Sullivan said one or two of thoOpposition speakers had alleged that aforTi of Soviet dictatorship would be setun under th« bill. On the other band,others had predicted tho growth ofmonopolies to the detriment of the con-suming public. The legislation meantneither the one thing nor the other.It meant neither capitalism norsocialism, but was designed to servo thenation irrespective of the form ofsociety functioning in New Zealand.
Examples OverseasIn European countries, added the
Minister, industry ivas in proces ofrationalisation and in Britain half adozen legislative enactments had beenpassed with the same objective as thebill now before the House.
Mr. Forbes: For specific industriesonlv.
Mr. Sullivan: .1 agree, but it seemsto be a somewhat clumsy method toenact legislation separately for everysection of industry.
Referring to the amendments to beintroduced. Mr. Sullivan said provisionwould be made for taking those en-gaged in running the various industriesand commercial undertakings into con-sultation before finality v.as reached onplans for reorganisation. In that waythose directly concerned would have avoice in the acceptance or rejection ofthe plans. In event of opposition byan industry to a reconstruction planin defiance of the majority wishes itmight be necessary to introduce aspecial bill to deal with the situation.However, the big stick would not beused unless it were found to be abso-lutely necessary.
Opposition Calls for DivisionThe Opposition called for a division

WAGES OF WOMEN MILKERS
[from our own correspondent]HAMILTON, Tuesday
A decision to request the Governmentto amend the Agricultural Workers'Act to provide for the exemption ofwomen milkers from its provisions wasmade at a meeting of the South Auck-land Dairy Association to-day. It washeld that the Act, as it stood at pre-sent, required the payment of full farmworkers' wages to women milkers, not-withstanding the Hon. H. T. Arm-strong's assurance that mutual agree-ments regarding the women's wagescould be made.
The meeting also decided to ask theGovernment to provide that the farmworker's half-holiday should bo timedbetween D.iso a.m. and 3.30 p.m. andthat it should not be necessary to ex-clude the evening milking, as at presentprovided.
A protest is to bo organised againstseveral of the other provisions of theAct, according to a decision reached.In addition, it was agreed to send adeputation to wait on the Minister.
POLICEMAN'S LOTERRATIC SCHEDULES
LONG WEEK OF WORK
AUCKLAND UNDERSTAFFED
While the working week of thou-sands of people in factories and shopsin Auckland is restricted to between40 and 44 hours, police officers whoguard their property and protect theirhomes have no such regulation of hours.The force in Auckland is understaffedand its members have to work longhours.
Both branches of the force at thecentral police station, uniform and de-tective, are in this position. The uni-form branch works from 56 to 60 hoursa week of seven days, and the menhave two day shifts and one nightshift. The day shifts are. from 5 a.m.until 1 p.m. and from 1 p.m. until9 p.m. The men work on alternateshifts, which means that if a constablestarts duty on Monday with the lateshift he finishes at 9 p.m. and beginson Tuesday at 5 a.m., and so onthroughout the fortnight. The nightduty period begins at J p.m. andfinishes at 5 a.m.
Men in the uniform division receiveone day off in every month, alwayson a Sunday. Constables who have oc-casion to go to Court to give evidencemay have to do so in their own timeand without pay. They recaive"tickets" for periods in which theyare so engaged, but such is the short-age of men in Auckland that they can-not make up the time due to them.
The detectives' roster is arranged sothat the men work 110£ vhours in 13days, in^this manner: They have whatare known as "short" and "long" days.The long day begins at 9 a.m. andthey are supposed to finish at 10.30 p.m.with 3A hours for meals. The short daybegins at 9 a.m. and finishes at 5.30p.m. On Sundays the hours are from10 a.m. until 12.30 p.m., 2-5 p.m. and7.30-10 p.m. They receive one Sundayoff in each fortnight and one "short"day off in every four weeks. From thevery nature of a detective's work, itis conceivable that the men are calledupon to work a fairly considerableperiod of overtime. On his "long" daya detective would start at, say, 8.30a.m., and finish when he reached homeat 11 o'clock at night.
Members of the Police Association,a branch of which is being formed inAuckland, have had several meetingsin the past few months and have dis-cussed hours and conditions. They de-cided recently to aim at securing aconsolidation of their hours, one work-ing day off a week, and a Sunday offin every fortnight
MUNICIPAL THEATRE
PROPOSAL AT ROTORUA
MAYOR REPLIES TO CRITICS
[by telegraph OWN correspondent]ROTORUA, Tuesday
A resolution expressing approval „ofthe proposal of the Mayor, Mr. T.Jackson, to raise a loan for a munici-pal building and theatre was carriedbv a meeting of ratepayers last even-ing after Mr. Jackson had spoken mreply to recent criticism.
Mr. Jackson estimated the revenuelikely to be produced from the theatreat £I2OO a year, together with a fur-ther £2OO saVing to the council in ren-tal of halls for official functions, £250revenue from rental of the concerthall, and £IOO revenue from rental ofoffice accommodation not required forthe council's own purposes, making atotal of £1750.
Even if increased building costs madeit necessary for the council to use itsstatutory margin and increase the loanto £28,000, Mr. Jackson said, -theannual interest and repayments, spreadover 30 years, would amount to only£lslß. He pointed out that the ex-hibitor's licence, which had * beengranted to the council in connectionwith the proposed theatre was valuableand would be lost if the scheme weredropped.

MEAT EXPORTSMR. NASH'S MISSION
STATEMENT BY MR.' COATES
PROPOSED AGREEMENT
"ALREADY ARRANGED"
[BY TELEGRAPH SPECIAL REPORTER]WELLINGTON, Tuesday
The statement that one of the firstactivities of the Minister of Marketing,the Hon. W. Nash, on his mission toEngland will be the conclusion of a-newmeat agreement was the subject of com-ment to-day by the Rt. Hon. J. G.Coates, who, as Minister of Finance inthe last Government, was mainly re-sponsible with the then Prime Minister,the lit. Hon. G. W. Forbes, for nego-tiating earlier agreements with theBritish Government regarding the ex-port of primary products from the Do-minion.
"The suggestion is that Mr. Nashwill conclude a new agreement coveringNew Zealand meat exports shortly afterhis arrival in England,'• Mr. Coatessaid. "In my opinion, he will sign anagreement that has been alreadyarranged for him —an agreement, more-over, which could probably have beensettled by an exchange of cables weeksago. If it is his intention to announcethe agreement from London as anaugury for the success of his missionthat will represent a piece of windowdressing that cannot be justified. I amprepared to hazard the opinion thatthe agreement has . already beenfinalised.
British Minister's Statement"An Australian delegation visited
London this year to discusis the positionof the British meat market, ' and Iunderstand that the then High Com-missioner for New Zealand, Sir JamesParr, together with "Mr. J. Begg andMr. 11. Forsyth, of the Meat Board,represented New Zealand. From a state-ment made by the British Minister ofAgriculture, Mr. Walter Elliot, in theHouse of Commons on July 6, it isclear that the discussions this yearhave brought to finality the proposalsadvanced in negotiations in London lastyear.
"At the Ottawa conference theBritish Government realised the neces-sity of establishing some body withauthority to see that the agreed quan-tities for meat imports were main-tained. During the meat negotiations inLondon last year, I supported a pro-posal along these lines, as, in my onin-oin, uniformity of action was essentialfrom New Zealand's point of view. Thedecision has now been reached to estab-lish an Empire Meat Council, repre-senting the United Kingdom and theother Empire countries concerned, andan international meat conference repre-senting the United Kingdom, other Em-pire countries and foreign countrieswhich supply substantial quantities ofmeat to the British market.
Stand Made Last Year"This policy was accepted in principle
last year and' now appears to be en-dorsed. The main question facing theEmpire Meat Council, when it is estab-lished, will concern beef supplies, andunder the procedure laid down quanti-ties will be fixed and allocated amongthe various Empire countries on thebasis of maintaining a regular price forthe British beef producer. The Ottawapolicy of an expanding share of theBritish market for the Dominions willbe continued.
"When I arrived in England last yearI found that the Dominions had almostresigned themselves to accepting a dutyor levy on Empire lieef as well; as onforeign supplies. New Zealand strenu-ously resisted this as; a departure fromthe spirit of Ottawa. Ultimately in theagreement that was concluded it wasprovided that no duty should bo leviedon Empire meat in the meantime. Theclause in the final draft agreement pro-viding for the imposition 'of importlevies was resisted throughout.
Endorsement of Policy"This year's negotiations have re-
sulted in"an endorsement of the policyput forward on behalf of New Zealandlast year. The British Government hasdecided to impose duties on all beefimported from foreign countries andto allow free entry to Empire beef,although there will be regulation ofboth Empire and foreign supplies to berecommended by jjlte Empire MeatCouncil and the 'lnternational MeatConference.
"The United Kingdom has felt itirksome and somewhat unfair that allthe odium of regulating supplies shouldfall on her and in future regulationwill be arranged by co-operation, withEmpire countries having the first sayregarding the import position. How-ever, Britain may still have to be theumpire in cases of disagreement. TheGovernment of each Empire countrywill appoint its own representatives tothe Meat Council and will also sharethe expenses of maintaining thecouncil.
Making Position Clear"The agreement that has apparently
been reached should prove quite satis-factory," Mr. Coates continued. "How-ever, it is only right that the positionshould be made clear,and that it shouldbe understood that negotiations havebeen proceeding along lines which wereclearly indicated by New Zealand morethan a year ago. There is one furtherpoint regarding the meat agreementwhich is of considerable importance. IfMr. Nash is delaying his announcementof the agreement in order to use itas a bargaining point in his reciprocaltrade negotiations with the BritishGovernment the* position of the NewZealand producer may be jeopardised.
"Mr. Nash says the main object ofhis visit to Britain will be to arrangea bilateral agreement for the exchangeof produce for manufactures. This'swapping' policy might easily alter thewhole basis of supply. Up to the pre-sent we have been able to negotiate onthe basis of established supply with theprospect of future expansion, A changebasing the exports of primary pro-ducts from New Zealand on the wholeposition of exports and imports wouldbring uncertainty and possibly disrup-tion."

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRSBUS TERMINAL
APPBOVAL OF PLANSCOUNCIL TO DO WORK
BUILDING AND PLATFORMS
EARLY COMMENCEMENTDetails of the proposed layout of the
municipal transport centro to be con-structed on tho old railway station sitewere submitted to the City Councillast night by tho city engineer, Mr. J.Tyler, and were approved. It was de-
;cided to carry out tho work with labouremployed under the council's own staff.A plan of tho administrative buildingand the loading platforms was publishedin last Saturday's Herald.' Mr. Tyler said it was proposed to
construct a one-storey administrativebuilding of reinforced concrete andbrickwork and to provide accommoda-tion for five bus company officers,three service-car offices, four shops,restaurant, general waiting room,women's rest room, manager's and in-formation office, bus and service-cardrivers' rooms, traffic department officeand staff room. Running through thecentre of tho building would be a 15ft.wide passenger thoroughfare. The build-ing would abut on the Commerce Streetextension.
The building would be surrounded bya suspension verandah and platformroof, the . platform. extending approxi-mately 255 ft. east from the maineastern,wall of. the, building. The gen-eral width of the platform, clear of busstops, was. 24ft- and the roof had awidth of 55ft. The total covered areawould have a length of 355 ft., or 118yards measured from Commerce Street,and the total superficial area coveredby the building and platform roof wouldbe approximately three-quarters of anacre.
Accommodation for VehiclesIt was further stated by the engi-
neer that the whole site acquired forthe purpose of the bus terminal occu-pied 3.1 acres. Of this area one acrewould be set aside for further exten-sion, and in the meantime would beused for car parking, three-quarters ofan acre was required for the buildingand platform; and the remaining 1 1-3acres would be paved with concrete toprovide access roads and tho necessarymanoeuvring area.
• The plans submitted bv the city engi-neer showed that all buses would enterby the: concrete road from Britomart!Place. Provision is made for 14 dis-charging and loading berths for buseson the southern side of the platform
seven bus and eight service-carberths, on the northern side. At presentCommerce Street Extension crosses thesite at a slight but it is proposedto square the alignment of the roadto the ;frontage of the administrationbuilding and widen it to 100 feet, form-ing a place or open space.
The special sub-committee stated ithad considered the plans prepared bythe city engineer after consultation withMr. K. ,W. Aimer, architect, and re-commended their approval. It waspointed out that a one-storev buildingwas provided for, it having been foundthat thp relatively large co,st of thopiles Required to support additionalstoreys "would not bo warranted. Witha view to complying with the recentagreement entered into between archi-tects, merchants and builders, the com-mittee recommended that the city en-gineer be instructed to arrange for aquantity surveyor to prepare a scheduleor bill of quantities to accompany thespecifications when tenders were called.
Use of Day Labour
It was further recommended by thecommittee that the laying out of thesite and the kerbing and paving be■undertaken by the city engineer byday labour with the council's own staff.This work could be started almost im-mediately. The estimated time for the
/ preparation, of the specifications, quan-tity survey and the calling of tenderswould bo two months and it should bopossible for the council.to.be in a posi-tion to receive tenders before theChristmas vacation.
The deputy-Mayor, the Hon. B. -Mar-tin, M.L.C., moved as an amendmentthat the recommendations relating tothe calling of tenders be struck outand that the whole of the work of erect-ing the station and layout of the sitebe proceeded with forthwith and beundertaken by the city engineer bydirect labour, the Works Committee tobe empowered, should it be necessary,to let .sub-contract's, for such specialisedportions of the work as it may deter-mine. ...
The. scheme was approved and thedeputy-Mayor's amendment was carriedby a large majority.
WORKERS' HOMES
TWO AREAS AT ORAKEI
INCREASE IN TOTAL SECTIONS
In re-subdividing two areas at Orakei,which it is understood are to be usedfor1 workers' homes, the Governmenthas increased the number of sectionsfrtfm 172 to 217.
Reporting to the City Council lastthe city engineer, Mr. J. Tyler,
said he had received two plans fromthe Chief Surveyor of roaded portionsof the Orakei. Garden Suburb. Thefirst, lying east of Coates Avenue, andsouth of Paora Street and north ofPaerimu Street, and containing a lotarea of 33 acres, was originally sub-divided into 110 lots, of which fourhad been sold. The remaining 106 hadbeen re-subdivided into 141 lots. Theother area south of Paerimu Streetand east of Coates Avenue contained alot area of nearly 17 acres. It wasoriginally divided into 62 lots, but wasnow to be re-subdivided into 76 lots.The area in all cases complied with or'Was in excess of the by-law require-ments. Subject to the necessary ex-tensions being made to the existingsewers tc> cojjc with the new arrange-ment he recommended that the plansbe approved.
The council adopted the recommenda-tion.
SCHOOL LAND LEASE

MORE HOARDINGSRAILWAY ADVERTISING
KHYBER PASS DISPLAY
PROTEST TO BE MADE"This action by the Government is
one which might well form tho sub-ject of a dignified protest to theMinister of Railways," stated thesecretary of the Auckland Chamber ofCommerce in a letter to the CityCouncil last night, in which he re-
ferred to hoardings being erectedalongside the railway line near thoAuckland Prison. 110 called attentionto the fact that tho Railway Depart-ment was erecting a series of hoardingsin Khvber Pass at a height forbiddenas unsafe by all tho leading New Zea-land boroughs, and blocking out someof the hoardings of their competitors.
A complaint was also received froman advertising company stating thatthese hoardings did not comply withthe by-laws and completely covered thecompany's panels. It asked that thomatter be taken up with tho RailwayDepartment.
The city engineer, Mr. J. Tyler,said that in addition to obscuring thesigns sanctioned by the council thoRailway Department's hoardings pro-vided an undesirable background forthe council's reserve. In view df theMinister's recent statement that hewould be pleased to review any suchmatters the council should draw hisattention to the complaints.
Mr. J. S. Stewart suggested that thecouncil should go into the question ofprohibiting hoardings in the city.
The chairman of the Town PlanningCommittee, tho Hon. B. Martin,M.L.C., said tho committee had al-ready discussed this question andwould take it up again.
Mr. L. J. Coaklev objected to anyproposal to prohibit hoardings. Hesaid this industry gave employment tomany people, including young designersand artists.
It was decided to bring the railwayhoarding to the notice of the Minister.
PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS
RENEWAL OF LEASES
Small increase in charges
Permission was granted by the CityCouncil last night to the AucklandLawn Tennis Association to increase thefees charged to patrons of the tennisCourts at the Domain and the Wind-mill Road Reserve from 3d a half-hourto 4d a half-hour.
On the recommendation of the ParksCommittee, the council agreed to re-new the leases of these courts to theassociation on the same terms. A rentalof £'Bo is to be paid by the associationfor the Domain courts for 12 monthsfrom October 18, while £l2O is to bepaid for the Windmill Road courtsfrom October 1, 1936, to April 30, 1^37.
The association had stated that anincrease in wages had to bo allowed forand asked permission to raise the feefrom 3d to 6d a half-hour. To caterfor regular patrons, it was proposed toissue a book of six tickets at a costof 2s 3d.
When it was moved that this in-crease be approved and that the chargeof 6d be imposed also at the VictoriaPark tennis courts, Mr. C. Baileymoved that the increase be to 4d only,and said he regretted that the increasewas being extended to Victoria Park.
The amendment was adopted.
TIMBER MILL CHIMNEYS
COMPLAINTS BY RESIDENTS
FREEMAN'S BAY DISTRICTFollowing a petition asking the
council'to endeavour to stop the nuis-ance caused by smuts from timber millsin Freeman's Bay, presented by 63residents in 25 premises in Graham andHardinge Streets, a report on the posi-tion was made to the City Council lastnight by the chief sanitary inspector,Mr. H. Paull.
The locality was near and higherthan Fanshawe Street, where themills were located, and it was evidentfrom the large quantities of charredparticles of sawdust and shavings foundin the spoutings and lying about theexterior and interior of the houses whenrecently inspected that a considerableamount of discomfort and annoyancewas caused by the deposits, it wasstated. The Kauri Timber Company,Limited, and the Leyland O'Brien Tim-ber Company, Limited, owned the millsoperating and recent observationsshowed the main cause for complaintwas emissions from the larger plant.
The site of the Kauri Timber Com-pany's mill had been used for millinglong before it was taken over by thecompany nearly 50 years ago. Thelease expired in seven years and wasnot, the manager stated, likely to berenewed. Leyland O'Brien's lease didnot expire until 196-1.
The inspector recommended that theadvice of the city solicitor lie obtainedas to whether the smut constituted anuisance within the meaning of theAct or by-law. and if so that actionbe taken for its abatement.
The report was adopted.
THE CITY MARKETS
RENT FOR BUILDING
An offer of £I2OO a year as rent forthe lease of No. 1 building at the CityMarkets for 10 vonrs from July 1,19.''>7, was received from A. B. Donald,Limited, by the City Council last night.
The city valuer reported that thepresent lease provided for a rental nf£1275 a year until July 1, 1937. therent for the succeeding 10 years to befixed either mutually or by arbitra-tion. Rates were also payable by thelessee. The city valuer's estimate of thepresent-day rent of this building was£1545 a rear.
The council declined the offer and de-cided to advise the lessee that the coun-cil's estimate for the term in questionwas £1545..
CARVED STONE HEADS
USE IN LAW LIBRARY
Eight of the carved stone heads takenfrom the frontage of the old Short-land Street post office building are tobe used as decorations on the new lawlibrary at the Supreme Court.
In a letter to the City Council lastnight the secretary of the AucklandLaw Society said it was understoodthat of the 24 heads removed from theShort land Street building 10 only hadany historical value. There were, how-ever, smaller heads, which it was under-stood had no historical associationwhatever, and the society asked to bepermitted to use eight of these for in-corporation in the new law library. Therequest was granted.
NATIONAL PARKWAITAKEBE SCHEMEPRESERVATION OF BUSH
APPEAL TO GOVERNMENT
While giving its moral support to theproposal to acquire land for the purposeof establishing a National Park in theWaitakere Ranges as a Coronationcommemoration, tho City Councildecided last night to retain full controlof all its parks, reserves and watercatchment areas in tho ranges.
A deputation from the CoronationPark committee and tho Institute ofHorticulture had waited on tho parkscommittee, stating that the chief ideawas to preserve approximately 00,000acres of bush land and secure its con-stitution as a national park. It was pro-posed that a separate body should havecharge of the area for management andprotection, but in view of tho council'sinterests in the watershed it would boessential that the council should haverepresentation on this committee.
Raising the MoneyTho deputation stated that it would
bo necessary to acquire approximately20,000 acres of land, for which the Gov-ernment valuation was about £70,000.They requested tho council to adopt theproposed scheme as tho chief object ofAuckland's commemoration of thoCoronation and join with the citizens'committee to raise the finance required.Mr. K. Earle Vaile had stated ho wasprepared to make a personal canvass ofbusiness men with the object of raising£25,000 toward the cost of acquiringthe necessary land.
The parks committee submitted theopinion that tho council should give itsmoral support to the acquisition of anyland deemed advisable or necessary tocomplete tho scheme, but that it shouldretain full control of its holdings in thoWaitakere Ranges. It also drew thoattention of tho council to the fact thatthe whole interests of the scheme werewithin the area under the jurisdictionof tho Waitemata Councy Council.
Checking DestructionTho Mayor, Mr. Ernest Davis, said
he felt that the matter for immediateconcern was the destruction of the bush.He suggested that representations bemade to the Government, and movedthat the following motion bo passed andforwarded to tho Hon. H. G. R. Masonfor presentation to the Government:"That tho Auckland City Council isseriously concerned at the destructionof tho standing bush which is takingplace in the Waitakore Ranges and withthe further destruction which is beingthreatened in connection with timbernulling, and represents to the Govern-ment the necessity for the making ofimmediate legislative provision to con-serve the remainder .of the bush, hold-ing that the need for action is so urgentas to warrant the Government makingtho relevant provision before Parlia-ment rises this session."
The Deputy-Mayor, the Hon. B.Martin, M.L.C., said lie hoped thecouncil would not bo called upon toaccept the responsibility of linding themoney.
Mr. Davis replied that it was certainthat the responsibility would sooner orlater fall on tho council, but in themeantime the council could make itsrequest to the Government.
The Mayor's motion was carried andthe committee's view endorsed.
QUEEN STREET STALLS
POLICY OF COUNCIL
STEPS FOR REDUCTIONAction which will tend to reduce the
number of stalls in Queen Street wasdecided upon by the City Council lastnight when considering an applicationfor a new stall. The Legal and By-lawsCommittee recommended that quar-terly licences be issued in respect ofthe present stall-holders, including theapplicant, at fees of 5s a quarter. Suchlicences arc not to bo transferable andwhen any stall-holder discontinues theuse of any of tho present stalls nofurther licences are to be granted andthe stall site is to be discontinued.
Mr. L. .J. Coakley objected to theproposal to reduce these stalls andeventually to eliminate them. Hemoved that this portion of the recom-mendation should be deleted. Peoplehad been able to buy their only news-papers in the streets for many yearsand should not be prevented now.
The deputy-mayor, the Hon. B. Mar-tin, M.L.C., explained that the pro-posal referred to stalls selling maga-zines and which took up a good dealof room on the footpaths at congestedpoints. There were shops paying ratesand selling magazines, and if the coun-cil allowed people to sell magazinesthey might just as reasonably allowthe sale of boots, sweets and other com-modities from stalls. They were notinterfering with the sale of" daily news-papers.
On hearing this explanation Mr.Coakley asked leave to withdraw hisamendment, and the committee's re-comcndation was adopted.
MILITARY CAMPS
LEAVE FOR EMPLOYEES
RECOMMENDATIONS MADEThe question of leave for City Coun-cil employees attending territorialcamps and courses of instruction, raisedsome time ago by Sir George Richard-son, came before the council last night,when recommendations were made by
the finance committee.'ihe committee favoured the grant-
ing of leave, with any difference of payto bring the employees' remunerationup to the usual salary, for annualcamps, such leave not to be deductedfrom ordinary leave. It was furtherrecommended that leave, without pav,be granted to enable special courses ofinstruction to be attended, such leavonot to exceed six days a year, and thatthe town clerk confer with the headsof departments of the council and theDefence Department, with a view tocarrying out the arrangement with aminimum of inconvenience.
It had previously been reported thatone officer in the town clerk's depart-ment and four in the city engineer's de-partment, and one employee in theparks department, would be involved.
The report was referred back to thecommittee without discussion.
SPACE FOR FIRMS
AN APPLICATION DECLINEDA proposal by Turners and Growers,
Limited, for the provision of more cellarspace under the building occupied bythe company and Radlcy and Companv,Limited, at the City Markets, wasnot favoured by the finance committeein a report to the City Council lastnight. The firm proposed to provide20,000 square feet more basement spaceand offered to find the cost of materialsand half the estimated labour cost, ifthe council would provide the otherhalf of this, estimated at £750. Itasked, in consideration for the amountthe firm would pay, that when revalua-tions were made in terms of its leaseno additional cost should be added torental or rates for the improvements.
The committee inspected the premisesand reported that it did not feel itwas incumbent for the council to findthe £750, and the application was de-clined.
\
LOAN CONVERSIONNEARLY TWO MILLION
LARGE TASK COMPLETED
DOMICILE OF DEBENTURES
OVER HALF IN AUCKLANDThe conversion and consolidation of
a portion of the securities of the publicdebt of tho Auckland City Corporation,amounting to £1,910,451, lias beencompleted. Tho town clerk, Mr. J. S.Brigham, reported to the City Councillast night that the last two debenturesof 11,621 had been lodged and ex-changed for now debentures of theAuckland City Conversion Loan, 1934.The task was commenced in April,1933.
The scheme provided for tho con-version of loan liabilities as follows:(a) Bearer securities in respect of publicissues convertible under the AucklandCity Conversion Loan, 1931 (No. 1),£1,810,175; (b) securities in respectof advances from the State AdvancesOffice, convertible under the AucklandCity Conversion Loan, 1931 (No. 2),£94,185; and (c) liability under agree-ment dated Juno 26, 1930, in respectof loans issued by tho Waiatarua Drain-age Board, subsequently taken overby the Ellerslio Town Board, £6091.
Holders of DebenturesThe conversion operation revealed
an interesting position regarding thoplace of residence of holders of Auck-land City bonds. Debentures convertedunder the No. 1 loan were held as fol-lows:—Auckland, £1,083,625, or 59.86per cent; Wellington, £463,750, or25.62; Dunedin, £34,250, or 1.89;Christchurch, £20,200, or 1.12; else-where in New Zealand, £128,550, or7.10; overseas, £79,800, or 4.41.
With regard to holders overseas, Mr.Brigham said it was evident that Cityof Auckland debentures wore well re-garded as investments, as debenturesfor conversion were received from resi-dents in Victoria, New South Wales,Soy th Australia, Queensland, Fiji,Samoa, Rarotonga, California, Singa-pore, Vancouver, Guernsey (ChannelIslands), London, Hull and othercentres in England.
Saving InvolvedDealing with the effect of the scheme,
Mr. Brigham said that interest reduc-tion legislation had already, in reduc-ing debenture interest rates by 20 percent, with a minimum of 4i per cent,effected for the council a saving ofJL18,058 a year. The conversion opera-tion not only definitely and for all timeconfirmed this reduction, but securedin annual interest and sinking fundpayments a further saving for the firstyear of £3BBI. in the second and eachsubsequent year this saving graduallyincreased cumulatively by 1 per centof the amount of debentures of No. 1loan redeemed each year.
Another important featuro was thoconsolidating of a unique miscellany of1:31 separate loan issues, made by thecity and by suburban districts nowmerged in the city, bearing differenttitles and of varying denominations andconditions as to rate of interest, sink-ing fund, currency, etc. In place of thenow converted 11,624 debentures issuedby the city and amalgamated bodiesover the last 20 or 30 years, there hadbeen issued under a carefully-plannedloan scheme a series of debentures uni-form in size, denomination, interestand security, and with provision forautomatic redemption by annual pay-ments. Moreover,. redemption loans,and charges in respect of raising them,which would have been necessary fromtime to time but for this consolidation,were thus eliminated.
Cost o! OperationThe total cost of carrying out the
conversion and consolidation of securi-ties amounting to £1,910,451 was£1573, of which only £39 was chargedto the city accounts, the balance beingrecovered from the City Sinking FundCommissioners in terms of the ordcr-in-eouncil. Every endeavour waa madeto keep the cost of conversion as lowas possible, all the work being carriedout, by the town clerk's department.
The report was received, and on themotion of the Mayor, Mr. Ernest Davis,it was decided to thank the town clerkand the members of his staff for theirexcellent work.
ORAKEI NATIVE LAND

INCREASES IN COSTS
PURCHASE OF MORE TRUCKS
Increases in contract rates soughtunder the Finance Act, 1936, as aresult of higher costs due to the newindustrial legislation, were consideredby the City Council last night, when theworks committee reported on a num-ber ol applications from contractors.
Applications had been received forincreases by the contractors for scoria,Onehunga sand, supply and deliveryof wall stone, and motor-lorries fortransport. Following a report from thecity engineer, Mr. J. Tyler, it was de-cided that increases be granted the con-tractors -without prejudice, of Is acubic yard for scoria and rubble, Is6d for wall stone, Is .'id for spawls andIs Oijd for Onehunga sand.
In tho caso of ono contractor forcartage it was agreed, owing to thodifficulty of arriving at any equitablebasis for assessing certain increases, torescind the contract and call new ten-ders.
Tho city engineer reported that inview of tho heavy demand for motor-truck hire in connection with the loanworks which would be extended overthe next two years and the fact thatit would be necessary for the councilto increase the present contract rates,lie recommended tho purchase of sixadditional three-ton trucks. The costshould be financed from loan money andthe loan account credited at 10s a daya truck, any balance outstanding at thetermination of the work to be liquidatedfrom the streets account. The workscommittee was given power to act inaccepting a tender for tho trucks.
AVONDALE STREETS
UNDEDICATED BLOCK
POSITION OF LANDOWNERSThe status of block 76, Avondale,
an area of 77 acres bounded by Manu-ka u Road, Thomas Street, WhittakerStreet and Donovan Street, -was dis-cussed in a report b,v the city engineer,Mr. J. Tyler, to the City Council lastnight, following an inquiry from theinternal Affairs Department, to whichrepresentations had been submitted byratepayers in the area regarding theprovision of essential services by thecouncil.
The position had been before thecouncil on a number of occasions, itwas stated. The boundary roads werededicated and 47 people owned lotsfronting on them, but there were nineundedicated roads within the block, onwhich fronted 393 lots owned by 80 per-sons. Mr. Tyler described proposals thathad been made from time to time asto the survey, dedication and formingof the roads, which had failed owingto no agreement being reached as tothe apportionment, of the cost.
The council decided in 1933 that itwould not acknowledge them as publicstreets until the property owners front-ing tiie undedicated streets were pre-pared to contribute toward the cost offorming them to a modified standard.The main contention of the petitionersappeared to be that the council hadno right to levy rates on land thatfronted on a private street, or con-versely that if it did levy a rate, itwas tantamount to accepting dedicationof the street. He was of the opinionthat the legality of this contentioncould not be substantiated, but if itwas correct, the local authority wouldbe responsible to form and maintainall private and undedicated streets inits area.
It was decided to forward the reportto the department.

"SAN FRANCISCO"
ST. JAMES' THEATRE FILM
Mctro-Goklwyn-Mayer lias again pro-duced an outstanding picture in "SanFrancisco," to commence at St. James'Theatre on Friday. The picture is mostdramatic and the most enthrallingpart of it is that which deals with theearthquake and firo which swept SanFrancisco in 1906. Scenes in whichmen, women and children are buriedbeneath crumbling buildings and inwhich firo is seen at its terrible workarc such as will be remembered whenothers are long forgotten. For the pur-poses of the film the city has been re-created as nearly as possible as it wasbefore the earthquake and the de-tailed settings will bear the closestscrutiny. Scenes of the gay and plea-sure-seeking life led by the people ofthe city before the disaster are con-trasted sharply with tho devastationwhich comes with the earthquake andtho fire. Through all these happenings;i stor.v is woven, the principal char-acters being a singer who wins famein both dance halls and opera houses,the owner of a dance-hall, ami thelatter's friend, a wise and understand-ing Irish priest.
The theme follows the rivalry be-tween the dance-hall owner, played byClark Gable, and the son of a wealthySan Francisco family (.Tack Holt).The leading lady, Jeanette MncDonald,repeats the success her acting and sing-ing won her in "Naughty Marietta."Her Voice is heard in both operatic andpopular selections and is perfectly re-produced. Gable proves himself a cleverand versatile actor through his por-trayal of Blaekio Norton, tho reck-less dance-hall proprietor who changeshis views and his modo of life whenthe earthquake descends on the city.Spencer Tracy's study of the priest whoacts as guide and counsellor to theerrant Norton is a fine one. JackHolt plays a straight part well andJessie Ralph excels in her part as hismother.
RICHARD CROOKSTHE SECOND CONCERTA POPULAR PROGRAMME
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION
At his second concert, given in theTown Hall last night, the famous tenor.Bichnrd Crooks, confirmed the regardwhich he had won from Auckland music-lovers upon his first appearance. A mostenthusiastic audience almost filled thehall, and Mr. Crooks again receivedhearty applause for all his numbers, andespecially for those from his operaticrepertoire.
Not within recent memory lias anysinger from overseas aroused suchready appreciation from great numbersof people with widely differing musicaltastes. This is due not only to resourceswhich meet the most exacting technicaldemands, but even more to the hitmanquality of his interpretations. Everysong last night was sung with an equalunderstanding of the composer's pur-pose and of tho emotional reactions, ofthe audience. There was never the leastover-emphasis, and each work appearedto speak for itself.
Interpretation of HandelTho programme was of a slightly
more popular order than that of thefirst concert. It opened with a groupof three arias by Handel. These, likeMr. Crooks' previous renderings ofBach, Haydn, Beethoven and Stradella,proved how thoroughly he had sought aknowledge of the older masters. Hekept a steady tempo and attained allthe smoothness and ease which a properinterpretation of Handel requires. Inthe well-known "Where'er You Walk,"ho proved his mastery of mezzo-vocesinging and attained a rarely beautifulquality of tone. The same was true of"Alma Mia," from "Floridante."
In the third number, "Tell MyBeloved," from "Atalanta," unusualpowers of breath-control enabled Mr.Crooks to take long phrases, consistingof difficult runs, with apparent easeand without any loss of light andshade. A full share of tho honours inthis instance was earned by the accom-panist, Mr Frederick Schauwecker.
Operatic NumbersIt was regrettable that the group was
interrupted twice by the entry of late-comers between the numbers. This wasobviously disconcerting to the singer,who was entitled to expect that thodoors would not be opened until thegroup was finished.
Mr. Crookes was, of course, morethan at home in the "Flower Song"from "Carmen" (Bizet). The dramaticbreak near the close of the aria wonan almost electrical response from theaudience, to whom ho had admirablyconveyed the feelings of the Spanishlover, and the applause was whole-hearted. As an encore number he gavean aria from "Martha" (Flotow),which brought down the house even be-fore the last note was ended. This wasfollowed by a Spanish serenade and"Angels Guard Thee" (Godard).
The ballad group which brought theevening to a close again provided muchfor local singers to emulate. Includedin it were:, "Then You'll RememberMe," "Xow Sleeps the Crimson Petal,""Yours Is My Heart Alone," "DrinkTo Me Only With Thine Eyes" and"Songs My Mother Taught Me."
Among the solo numbers played byMr. Schauweckcr were: "Piece Ro-eocco" (Taylor), "Nocturne" (Gla-zounow), " Impressions " (Schmitt),"Nocturne" (Chopin) and "PoemeTriste" (Sibelius). All of these wereappreciated by the large audience.
The third and final concert will begiven to-morrow night. The programmewill be largely German, and will in-clude works by Schubert and Brahms.

TEST PILE FOR BRIDGEWATER JET USED IN DRIVING
j SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT[by telegraph—OWN correspondent]
GISBORNE, Tuesday
if ' In the driving of a test pile on the"
cite "of the Waipaoa Biver Bridge, over
which the Napier-Gisborne railway line-trill be carried, interesting results havebeen obtained from the use of a water
• jet projected through the centre of the
pile at considerable pressure to breaka 'passage for the pile itself. In justunder an hour the pile was sunk o\ er
30ft., a distance which by the usualmethod would have taken severalhours.
I I;. 1 The advantage of the jotting methodcan only be secured under suitable con-ditions, and the purpose of the test
i made at the Waipaoa Bridge site wasto ascertain whether these conditionsexisted there. The outcome of the ex-periment was entirely satisfactoryandit is understood that the Public A\orksDepartment will ' transfer to Gisborne
r, special plant for driving the other pilesof the bridge.
,.
The Waipaoa River in its lowerreaches runs through a basm lined with
• clay and overlying a deep bed of sand,which in earlier years formed the seabed. This sand is encountered aboutBft. or 10ft. below the river level, andcontinues to a depth _as yet un-
li? plumbed. The tost pile is down almost40ft., and has not reached the bottomof the sand layer. This layer will pro-vide a first-class foundation for therailway bridge, and the sinking of thepiles through it to the required depth
: well below the level at which anyscouring effect might be experiencedduring floods in the river, will begreatly facilitated by the use of thejetting method
i One advantage of this method is thatno damage is done to the piles, such asmight occur when the piles are drivenagainst strong/ resistance. The jet ofwater forced down the _ centre of thepile and through a special pile-end dis-turbs the sand and allows the weightof the pile to penetrate deeper and
r. deeper into the bed of sand, closing msolidly around the pile once the pres-
i' sure of the jet is released.

The consensus of opinion in Australiawas that as soon as the Labour factionremoved Mr. J. T. Lang there wouldbe a likelihood iof Labour going backinto power in New South Wales, saidMr. L. B. Clarkson, formerly of Christ-church and now of Sydney, in an inter-view. ■ .
The United Australian Party was notsatisfied with the present method oflegislation, Mr. Clarkson said. On hisreturn from abroad, Mr. B. S. Stevens,the Premier of New South Wales, in-curred displeasure because he curtailedrelief-work schemes, before taking anysteps to ensure the carrying out ofother jobs. Such an act antagonised hissupporters.
"A large number of community in-terests are opposed to the present Gov-ernment because Qf the attitude itadopted toward the tariff question, bothwith Japan and America," said Mr.Clarkson. "It is held that the situa-tion was handled in anything but adiplomatic manner. There is also agrowing dislike of what might betermed 'government by regulation'."

POWER LINES AND TREES
LONG-STANDING DISPUTE
LOCAL AUTHORITIES DIFFER[Bi TELEGRAPH OWN CORRESPONDENT]
MATAMATA, TuesdayThe long-standing dispute between
the Matamata Domain Board and theThames Valley Electric-Power Boardregarding the proximity of power-linesto trees was carried a step further ata meeting of the domain board lastweek. Notification was received fromthe power board that if the trees inthe domain belt were not cut clear ofthe lines by October 15, the boardwould take the matter into its ownhands, unless an undertaking was givento pay the cost of removing the power-lines to a new position.
Some months ago the power boardrequested the cutting-back of the trees,but the domain board refused on theground that the lines were placed acrossthe belt after its dedication as a plant-ation reserve, and the onus was there-fore on the power board. The CrownLands Department had upheld thedomain board in its attitude, and at arecent meeting the domain board re-quested the power authority that some-thing should be done to avoid possibledamage by the lines fcoming in contactwith the trees.
In reply to the latest request fromthe power board, it was decided tosuggest that the notice should be servedon the Minister of Lands.

On an oldclearing numerous logs had been hauledout and mill buildings erected;and along the clay road leading tothis mill the bush had been hackedabout unmercifully to open up theroad to the sun. It is bad enough tohave the bush felled on private' lands,but when that on a road is cut tofacilitate the removal of the pri-vately-owned timber it is over theodds. The Government's building activi-ties are the cause of this milling inthe Waitakeres and it is up to theGovernment to provide funds to ac-quire these lands before it is too late.What is the use of spending thousandson a scenic drive if wo allow the bushto be felled?
DEFENCE AND AVIATION
Sir,—I notice an academic discussionon Miss Jean Batten's transtasmanflight. Might 1 ask why a cruiser isnot being sent to meet her? MissBatten is a New Zealander who wantsto do something, and with a rareoriginality she has favoured her nativecountry with the chance of taking thebox seat while she does it. Pity helpus if we cannot protect such a, spirit,other than by prohibition, from thepossible worst of its folly. One wouldthink that neither the Government northe people of the country had anyinterest in aviation. Machines must
|be lost before the air around theseislands is conquered; and fatalistic
; laziness has prevented adequate pre-I cautions being taken to safeguard thei fliers' lives. When we sent a cruiser| half-way round the world in order notjto stop Mussolini, the bill was paid! without demur. Does it need thisI exploit by a woman to illustrate for! our defence enthusiasts the fact that'our only effective weapon, in the eventiof another war, will be bjr air?

IMPROVED CONDITIONS
Sir,—We hear so often that the re-i turning prosperity is due to the advent
! of the Labour Government that it is1 worth examining th'e facts: The credit
! is alleged to be due to the increased! purchasing power from higher wagesi and the more active public expenditure.| What about the higher prices realisedfor our exported produce? Have these
j done nothing to increase the purchas-ing power in the Dominion? Are thesedue to the present Government? FromJuly, 1935, to July, 1936, our exported
j produce brought us nearly £12,000,000i more than the previous 12 months, of! which no less than £8,500,000 morej came in for the first seven months of1 this year, as compared with the samej period of 1935. This enormous additionto our purchasing power is due to
: improved conditions in England. The; present Government has no justification! in claiming credit for it, or in any waycomparing it to conditions under thelast Government, which had to dealwith a disastrous fall in market prices
: at Home. The charge that the late Gov-ernment was responsible for the slumpand that this Government is responsiblefor the increased prosperity is un-adulterated propaganda. It is constantlyrepeated for political reasons, and 1 feelbound in common justice to draw at-tention to the above facts. Ajax.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Sir,—Apropos vour leading article inFriday's Herald. We rend a lot abouttho training of the human body toenable it to become as near to physicalperfection as possible. Daily exercisesand drill are prescribed, also plentyof outdoor life. All very good, butthe first essential to human cleanli-ness, and I may say, life, is the breath-ing of pure air. As far as L can seethis is practically impossible, unlessone lives in one's own home. Stay atany of our hotels or good-class board-ing houses and what do we find? 1 liedrawing room and lounge filled withpeople, smoke, a nice fire, and everywindow and door religiously closed. Itis the same in clubrooms, and practic-ally everywhere where one seeks socialentertainment. Warmth is necessary,but ventilation is equally so. Unless theblood stream in the body is pure,disease must follow. The blood aftercirculating throughout the body travelsto the lungs to be cleansed or purified.If there is no oxygen in the atmospherethis is impossible, and dirty bloodtravels on its way, the individualquickly responding to lassitude andheadache. Tho breathing of pure airat all times and the daily bath will domuch to eradicate disease, especiallythe common cold. Alice Weston.

PACIFISTS' DECLARATION
Sir,—As members of the ChristianPacifist Society, we declare that Ave re-nounce war and preparations for war,and will refuse to fight or render mili-tary service under any circumstances.This stand is taken primarily on thefollowing grounds: —(1) War under anycircumstances is the utter negation ofthe spirit and teachings of Jesus Christ.A Christian's first and chief loyalty isto Him. This loyalty must come beforeloyalty to family and state (in the ful-filment of tho demands of the higherloyalty these lesser ones are truly ful-filled). There is only one meaning to betaken from these words: "Love yourenemies, do good to them that hateyou, bless them that eurtso you, prayfor them that despitofully use you."Nor have we any justification for doubt-ing their practicability and ultimatewisdom, in that they are words ofChrist. Participation in war means re-jection of Him. No ,ono who strives tofollow the teachings of Christ absolutelycan possibly take part in war. (2) It isour belief that men will never be wonfor Christ on a large scale, until thoChurch has within it that spirit of bold-ness and conviction, which will enableits representatives to make pronounce-ments on war which aro absolute, andwithout reservations of any kind. Weentreat our fellow Christians to standwith us in a determined and doggedlesistance against militarism and war.We, as members of the Public Ques-tions' Committee of the AucklandMethodist Young Men's Bible ClassUnion, believing this to bo the mosturgent of all public questions to-day,have as individuals, and as a committee,studied tho question with grpat careand a full senso of responsibility. Theresult of this study is that for the abovereasons and for many others Ave havetaken the covenant never under anycircumstances to participate in war,and Ave believe that Ave scr\ re our coun-try best by making this stand, for. inno other policy can Ave see any hopefor tho world of shaking off the fatalcurse of Avar. We are not primarily con-cerned about what other people andother nations ar6 prepared to do, be-cause avg know that if we all wait forsomeone else to do something, it maybe too late to do anything at all. Thoopinions expressed should not at themoment bo regarded as the officialviews of tho Bible Class Union.

STAMP SPECULATIONS
Sir,—I should like to support theprotest of your previous correspond-ents on what one of them rightly de-scribes as the rami) in the commemor-ative stamps just issued. Was it theGovernment's intention to issue theseries for the benefit of a few specu-lators? Jf not, as 1 presume, the sug-gestion of a previous correspondentthat more of the higher values boprinted would meet the wishes of alarge number of collectors, would bringmore grist to the Government mill andserve to remove the impression fromthe minds of many of us that a smallsection of the community were reapingthe sole benefits of a national serviceintended to be shared by every one ofus. Ttm-KNCK Ha'penny.
MARRIED COUPLES
Sir.—We were assured that the newGovernment had brains, and what itwishes , a farmer to do who employsa married men with a cottage providedis now made clear, as 1 always feltit would be. If 1 invite the marriedman to share my kitchen and live in alean-to, 1 may quite properly deductlodging from his pay. But if I spend£l5O on an up-to-date cottage of threerooms, with bathroom and kitchen-ette, such uppishness is rightly frownedon, and J. may deduct nothing fromhis pay. One comes nearest the Com-munistic ideal, of course, when farmer'swife and farm hand's wife share thefrying pan, while if the farm housoinspector drops in he shares thesausage. That is perfection. I mustbuild a lean-to. But about the cot-tage. I have it! Already the biggestbutter buyer of the globe, the NewZealand Government intends also to bethe world's premier pork purveyor.Tigs thrive ill roomy, sunny quarters,say a cottage. With two wives social-ising over the stove, the live childrenof one and the three of the other com-munising in the back yard, I may de-duct lodging from the man's pay, andeveryone will be happy, especially thepigs. But ' will the pigs need the cot-tage bath? Kaipara Settler.
GOVERNMENT HOUSING
Sir,—Mr. K. H. Melvin has doublyblundered in attempting to discreditmy complaint of bad tenants and bysaying my charge was against old-agepensioners. I have the witnesses, andaction would have been taken in Courtand the scandalous situation fully re-vealed and proven if the offensive-party had not been afraid of the ex-posure and got out. The "Unfair BentsAct" is an ill-conceived, clumsy, am-biguous and iniquitous piece of classlegislation, a disgrace to this Do-minion, and such as no other Britishcountry would tolerate. It was notdirected against my "type," as Mr.Melvin ignorantly asserts (for we twicereduced the old-age pensioner's rentwhen two cuts were made in his pen-sion, and have not raised his rent apenny since), but against certain land-lords whom the Prime Minister re-garded as extortionate. But, unfortu-nately, the sympathetic landlord whokept his rent at a low and unprofit-able levei is the one who .is mostseverely penalised; and for no fault butfor his* kindness! "The extra increasesin living costs," which Mr. Melvinrecognises, connote the devaluation ofmoney. To allow this fav a rise in pricesin the case of the butcher, baker,grocer and certain landlords, and todeny it in the case of other landlords,is thoroughly unjust. Will Melvintill us why the pensioner's increaseof income is "fair game" for somegreat monopoly, but not for some poorwidow who struggles to support her-self and children by renting a fewrooms in her debt-encumbered home?Many landlords and landladies are inmore straitened circumstances thantheir pensioner tenants. And these arethe people the Government is -forcingout of business and making an extraburden upon the already over-burdenedworkers and taxpayers. Experience.
STOCK EMBARGO
Sir,—It is about time that the em-bargo on stock coming from GreatBritain was removed. As Lord Bledisloepointed out on several occasions, ourstock, both dairy and beef, wouldrapidly depreciate unless this removalwas made. There seems little or noreason why arrangements should notbo made for the immediate removalof the ban on importation of suchstock. Isolated cases of foot and mouthdisease in the Old Country must fromtime to time occur, but it is of such asmall magnitude that little or no riskwould be taken by importation of freshblood into this country. Valuable im-portations from U.S.A. of pedigreeAberdeen Anglis cattle, as well asother stock, have recently been madeto this country, and the figures ob-tained for same have been very high,thus showing the need for new bloodfor the herds of New Zealand farmers.Our farmers have been forced to pur-chase elsewhere when they would pre-fer to purchase from England. If weare to keep up our reputation for ourbutter, and compete against the Argen-tine in the chilled beef industry,which is rapidly becoming an industryof no mean size in this Dominion, thebest English, Scottish and Irish cattlemust be imported again into thiscountry, and such importation be madequickly. The whole of the pastoral in-dustry of New Zealand depends on thofarmers' herds, both of dairy cattle andbeef cattlo. being kept up to thebest standard. I am sure, if sufficientpressure is brought to bear 'upon theGovernment by all breeders, as well asthe agricultural and pastoral associ-ations and the Farmers' Union in thiscountry, that this mattgr could bedealt with satisfactorily to all con-cerned at a very early date.

GAME PRESERVING
Sir,—As one who has considerableexperience of the rearing and preser-vation of game in my younger days intho Old Country, 1 consider the Gov-ernment is entirely Avrong in startinga game farm on its oavii account. Itwould have been far better to haA'egiven a small subsidy and left therearing of game to private enterprise.Unless they have got really experi-enced men at the head of it tho gamefarm will probably go tho way afew of tho experimental farms of pre-vious Governments havo gone. Whatis really Avanted is a GoA-ernment sub-sidy and a thorough campaign for thoextermination of all kinds of vermin.Destroy your vermin first and thenliberate your game. The principaloffenders in this country are the cat,tho stoat and tho weasel in thatorder. SparroAV hawks are also verydestructive, about six times as milchso as tho common harrier, but they arenot very plentiful in New ZealandSome people look upon the hedgehogas a menace to game, but that is riotthe case. It may take very smallfledglings or eggs from the nest, but itsdepredations end there. Its principalfood is Avorms, grubs, slugs and in-sects. Where not too plentiful so asto becomo a nuisance I think thohedgehog should bo left entirelyalone. The kingfisher is quite as des-tructive on eggs and small fledglings,and what is more he can get at themin trees as well as on the ground, butlie is a scavenger, like the hedgehogand in some respects quite as useful.Trapping is tho surest method to keepdown vermin and a piece of rabbit isthe best bait to use.

RAGWORT CONTROLDEPARTMENT'S POLICY
PAYMENT OF WAGES
OPPOSITION BY COUNTIES
DIRECT AID PREFERRED
[from our own. correspondent]HAMILTON, Tuesday
"The Agriculture Department's offeris absolutely useless," said Mr. J. A.Sampson, chairman of the WaikatoCounty Council, to-day, when referringto the decision of the department tofind 15s of the 16s required to be paiddaily to men employed on the eradica-tion of ragwort. The council was re-quired to provide transport, campinggear, supervision, tools and material.
Mr. Sampson added that the Director-General of Agriculture, Mr. A. H.Cockayne, had promised the councilassistance to the extent of £4OO formaterials and labour to facilitate rag-wort control. Since then, however, Mr.Cockayne had written advising that ascheme had now been decided uponwhereby gangs of men might bo workedsystematically throughout the county.The rate of pay was fixed at 16s a day.the men to be worked in gangs of 10.
The county engineer, Mr. A. A. Wood-ward, said the cost to the county wouldbe greater than the Government's contribution, while it was doubtful if suit-able labour could be found among the.unemployed.
Advice was also received from theMatamata County Council expressingstrong disapproval of the department'schanged policy. It was pointed outthat much more effective work couldbe done by the councils with onlyfinancial assistance, provided the Gov-ernment looked after the Crown andnative lands.
It was decided to inform the depart-ment of thei council's disapproval ofthe amended scheme.
Advice was received by the councilthat the work of the Cawthron Insti-tute in procuring parasites to destroyragwort was being hampered for lackof finance. About £SOO was requiredto procure sufficient parasites for theAuckland Province. ' Of this amount£370 had been contributed. The councildecided to donate £lO.
Mr./R. 6. Young dissented, and saidthat he considered the Governmentshould find the money.
The Chairman: It is all very wellsuggesting that everything should boleft to the Government, but we allknow that private enterprise invariablysecures better results than Governmentaction.
COST OF CARTAGE
COMPLAINTS BY FARMERS
NEW RATES CRITICISED
•[by telegraph —OWN correspondent]MORRINSVILLE. Tuesday
" That the new cartage rates adoptedby carriers were almost double thosepreviously ruling was stated by spcakci sat a meeting of the Morrinsville branchof the New Zealand Farmers' Union.They urged that the union should takeaction to safeguard the interests offarmers.
Mr. R. A. S. Browne said the increasein cartage was about /5 to 100 per cent.What farmers objected to was not somuch the fact that cartage costs hadbeen increased, but the way the Trans-port Department had given tho carriersassociation to understand that, if mem-bers did not increase their cartage rates,they would lose their licences. The Scaleof charges was decided on at a meetingof carriers and approved by the Trans-port Department without reference tothe farmers, who had to pay.
Mr. W. Taverner said the rates forcarting fertilizers had been raisednearly 100 per cent. Lime could bequarried, ground, bagged and placed ontrucks for the same amount as thecarriers were now charging to cart itfor the 12 miles from Morrinsville to hisown farm. He feared the outcome wouldbe that less lime would be used. Thecartage rate for pigs had increased by100 per cent. It now cost 5s a piginstead of Is, for cartage to the station.
It was stated that if a carrier didnot earn £5 a week he was compelledby the Transport Department to raisehis charges.
A special meeting of farmers is to beheld to further discuss the question.
DRY SPELL BROKEN
WELCOME RAIN IN FIJI
BENEFIT TO SUGAR CROPS
[from OUR OWN correspondent]SUVA, Oct. 6
After four months of unusually dryweather rain fell in Fiji last week-end.About four inches were recorded inmost parts of Viti Levu, the mainisland of Fiji. In the Ba and Lautokadistricts, where the bulk of the sugarcane is grown, young crops were suffer-ing badly for want of rain, and thebreaking of the drought was very wel-come.
In Suva there was a storm of con-siderable violence, which is unusual forthis time of the year. The wind attimes reached a velocity of 51 milesan hour. One or two small boats inthe harbour dragged their anchors, in-cluding tho Auckland yacht Soubrette,but these were secured by the harbour-master, who went out in his launch.
Prior to the rain bush and grassfires were reported on tho island ofVanua Levu, but this danger has nowbeen averted by the rain.

DAMAGES AWARDVERDICT CHALLENGEDMOTOR-CYCLIST'S INJURIES
MOTION FOR NONSUITThe verdict of a jury which last July
awarded a motor cyclist £1259 damageswas challenged before Mr. Justice Fairin the Supreme Court yesterday. Theplaintiff was Halford Stewart, freezingworks tally clerk (Mr. Holmden), who,when riding a motor-cyclc along theGreat South Road on the night of De-cember 9 last, collided with a station-ary unlighted motor-car under the con-trol of Alfred Francis Hancock, grocer,of Penrose (Mr. Towle). The accidenthappened between Te Kauwhata andMercer, and Stewart fractured histhigh. The jury found that the defen-dant Hancock had been negligent inleaving his car unlighted by the road-side and awarded the plaintiff £IOOOgeneral and £259 special damages.
Mr. Towle yesterday applied for anonsuit on the ground that the plaintiffhad been guilty of contributory negli-gence in failing to keep a proper look-out, in proceeding when lie was dazzledby the lights of another car, and inproceeding at such a pace that he wasunable to stop in time to avoid the car.In the alternative, Mr. Towle- askedthat the jury's verdict bo set aside anda new trial granted, on the groundsthat the damages were excessive, thatevidence had been improperly led of anadmission of negligence by a passengerin the car, and that the verdict wasagainst the weight of evidence.
Examining the plaintiff's evidence,.Mr. Towle said it was clear that Stewartwas not looking at the road ahead and>that he had been dazzled by the lightsof a car he had just passed. The Courtwas not Concerned with degrees of negli-gence, but with whether the negligencematerially contributed to the accident.
Mr. Holmden also reviewed the evi-dence and submitted argument irr sup-port of the jury's verdict. .
His Honor reserved his decision.

TE KUITI BOROUGH
REPORT ON FINANCES
LICENSING FOOD SHOPS
fBY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT]TE KUITI, Tuesday
A deficit at the end* of the yearwas anticipated by the town clerk,Mr. M. J. Strange, in a report onthe state of the district fund accountfor tho half-year ended September 30,submitted to tho Te , Kuiti BoroughCouncil last night. With careful ad-ministration of the funds over the re-mainder of the year, however, he an-ticipated that the debit shouldnot be large.
Revenue was buoyant, added the re-port, but expenditure to which- thocouncil was committed, for which pro-vision was not made in the estimates,amounted to £696. The estimated sur-plus had been £SOO, so that the coun-cil would have a deficit of approxi-mately £2OO.
The clerk and the Mayor, Mr. T.Carroll, were authorised to conclude ar-rangements with the Mangapu Drain-age Board for the clearing of willowsin the Mangaokewa River within thetown. It was recommended that thework bo proceeded with immediately,it is expected to cost about £IOO.
The council decided that the firebrigade allocation be increased to £7Onext year, to permit the brigade topurchase uniforms.
On the casting vofce of the Mayorit was decided to licence places wherefood is sold for human consumption,such as boarding houses, restaurants,butchers' shops and ice-cream shops. Aby-law was introduced in 1931 for thispurpose, but, owing to the depression,it was never enforced. At last night'smeeting it was decided to enforce itas from April 1 last.
After the decision had been madeMr. G. B. Johnson gave notice ofmotion that the by-law be repealed.When it was commented that thiswas not likely to have the approvalof the Health Department, he alteredthe notice to read that the fees besuspended.

CHURCH AND WARBAPTISTS DIVIDED
DISCUSSION AT ASSEMBLY
PRESENT ARMAMENTS RACE
"Britain is the retired burglar of theworld," declared Dr. J. J. North ina discussion on the present armamentsrace at the annual assembly of the NewZealand Baptist Union yesterday. "Weown a fifth of the earth, and we havegot it through aggressive wars. We saywe will not do it again, but we nowhave the 'boodle.' "
The discussion was the outcome of aresolution from the Public QuestionsCommittee, moved by the Rev. N. R.Wood, that the assembly viewed withgrave concern the new armaments race,which menaced the world with war. Itdeplored the economic war of hightariffs, embargoes and quotas, whichbore harshly on over-populated landswith poor natural and colonial resourcesand which fomented bitterness. Theresolution urged the Government togivo a lead in adopting measures whichmight finally remove the causes of in-ternational irritation.
The resolution was strongly con-demned by several speakers. "This doc-trine that war is contrary to the teach-ing of. Christ is not true," said theRev. L. Macky, of Palmerston North."Jesus Christ was not a pacifist. Oursalvation was secured not by pacifismbut by the sword. There would havebeen no peace between God and us ifChrist had not died by the sword."Pacifism ignored the nature of things,ho added. The peace of 100 years wassecured because Britain was strongenough to show her teeth.
In the present state of the world theEmpire's safety depended on effectivearmed forces, said the Rev. J. Hiddle-stone. It was most disturbing in the re-cent Abyssinian dispute to see theBritish nation retreat.
An amendment was moved affirmingthe assembly's loyalty to the Constitu-tion and the Throne, but the discussionwas finally ruled out of order andlapsed.
AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS
DELETION FROM CURRICULUM
PROTEST BY FARMERS' UNION
"It is a most extraordinary stateof affairs for a country like New Zea-land," said Mr. R. A. S. Browne,when drawing attention at. a meetingof the Morrinsville branch of the Farm-ers' Union to a recent report that aconference of technical school repre-sentatives in Wellington had decidedby a majority vote to support a pro-posal to delete agriculture from tholist of subjects for the university en-trance or matriculation examination.
Mr. Browne explained that for manyyears agriculture had been taught inthe New Zealand secondary schools, andwas taken as a matriculation subjectby pupils not engaged in the purelyacademic course. He was amazed toread that the representatives of tech-nical schools above all, should seek tocut agriculture out.
On the motion of Mr. Browne it wasresolved to make a protest throughthe headquarters of the Farmers'Union against the action of the tech-nical colleges' conference and to askfor the conference's reason for cuttingout agriculture as a subject.

HOSPITAL COSTSSHARING OF BURDEN j
LOCAL AND GENERAL TAXEsj'
INTENTIONS OF GOVERNMENT |
[BY TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT] \
PALMEItSTON NORTH, Tuesday
An early review of hospital admin-istration in the direction of relievingratepayers of part or all of the con-tributions now made toward hospitalexpenditure was recently suggested tothe Government by the KairangaCounty Council. A reply was receivedto-day by the council from the Min-ister of Health, the Hon. P. Fraser, |who said that the Government wasfdesirous that there should be an equit-#able sharing of the cost of hospitalsand charitable aid between local ratesand general taxes.
Careful regard had to bo given, how-ever, to the division of administrativeresponsibility and control in connectionwith hospitals and allied services, theMinister said. Several measures alreadyinaugurated or to be inauguratedwould undoubtedly have the directeffect of relieving local rates and ofincreasing charges on the ConsolidatedFund.
In respect of social services, the Min-ister mentioned by way of illustrationthe extension of the pension benefits.Moreover, an important question atpresent receiving the attention of theGovernment was that of nationalhealth insurance, and proposals in thatdirection were regarded as having adefinite bearing on the question oflocal body and Government contribu-tions for hospital purposes.
"I regret that I cannot agree withthe suggestion that ratepayers should,bo relieved of their share of hospitalcosts," he added. "Our hospitals pro-ivide one of the cheapest services atithe disposal of the people, and NewZealand is fortunate in having one ofthe best hospital services in theworld."
"L cannot agree with the Minister,"said the county chairman, Mr. I). /Collis. "The effect of recent legisla-ttion will be that the Palmerston North'Hospital Board will have to find an-jother £SOOO a year."

The church treasurer reported thatfor the year ended August 18 theAuckland Presbytery had raised a sumof £2708 for Assembly schemes, ascompared with £3346 allocated before-hand to the Presbytery as its quota.This gave an average of about 80per cent raised.
On tho motion of the Rev. A. M.Elliffe, who pointed out that it wasnine years since the General Assemblylast met in Auckland, it was decidedto invite it to meet here next year.
A request from St. James' Churchto be placed on the list of churchesfrom which services are broadcast fromIYA was referred to the Life and WorkCommittee to report.
Tho resignations of the Rev. N. 0.White, of St. Enoch's, from Septem-ber 30, and the Rev. W. Kearney,of Mangere, from October 31, werereported to Presbytery.

A memorial minute was adopted re-cording appreciation of the long anddevoted service of the late Mr. J. S.Fftirgray, of Devonport. to St. Paul's,Devon port, to the Auckland Presby-tery, and to the Presbyterian Churchof New Zealand.
In acknowledging a message of good-will from the Presbytery the HighCommissioner for New Zealand, Mr.W. J. Jordan, wrote that his taskat the League of Nations would bea heavy one, but with God's guid-ance he would try to make a con-tribution to the solution of the graveproblems with which the League hadto deal.

A recommendation by the acting-superintendent. of the Auckland Har-bour Board, Mr. I). Holderness, thattho board should fix the term of allits leases at 21 years, with rights ofrenewal for three periods of 21 yearseach, was discussed by the board at itsmeeting yesterday.
The chairman, Mr. C. G. Macindoe,said the board should adopt this formof leaso as the best policy for it topursue. It was tho fairest form notonly to tho board, but also to thotenants.
Mr. H. R. Mackenzie said he sup-ported tho old idea of lessees havingthe option of a 50 years' lease or a 21-year renewal.
Mr. Harvey Turner suggested thatthe question should be referred to theboard in committee. It was a very radi-cal change in tho procedure of theboard.
Mr. M. H. Wynyard expressed theopinion that tenants liked to knowtheir liability at tho beginning of thoperiod of their lease.
It was decided to refer tho recom-mendation to tho board in committee.

YACHTING
AUCKLAND ASSOCIATIONSUCCESSFUL YEAR REVIEWED
RULES FOR SANDERS CUP
A season which sot a new high leveliu the history of yacht and motor-boat-ing in Auckland is reviewed in the re-port of the Auckland Yacht and MotorBoat Association to be presented at theannual meeting on October 27.
Many new craft were commissioned, stalesthe report, and excellent fields contested allthe major events. It is with gratification thatthe association records a continuance of har-monious relations among the various clubsand between the individual bodies and theassociation.
The 1036 contest for the Sanders MemorialCup was, at the suggestion of the southernassociations, held at Auckland. During theprogress of the racing several meetings ofdelegates from the competing provinces wereheld. The first meeting served to re-establishthe contests on the original basis, this beingbrought about by a virtual re-adoption of the1023 Sanders Cup contest rillcs, with thesole important omission of the one-time vetoon the part of Auckland. The meetings re-sulted in the cancelling of the one-designclass and the adoption of a set of restric-tions which were, for the most part, a para-phrase of the Auckland Association's 11-footrestricted Jcllicoe class adopted some twoyears previously. The Sanders Cup class willhenceforth be composed of restricted hullswith one-design sails
With still further increased membershipowing to the affiliation of additional clubs andwith increasing demands on the dates avail-able for fixtures, considerable difficulty is cor-tain to bo experienced in the arranging ofthe programme of racing. The cooperationof every club in this direction is solicited.
The association extends its congratulationsto the Takapuna Boating Club on the re-sumption of widespread inter-port racing forthe Cornwell C'tip in tho Takapuna Z classboats and on a most excellently conductedand keenly fought contest.
The association records, with profound re-gret, the loss yachting has sustained by thedeath of His late Majesty, King George V.,first yachtsman of the Empire and holmsmanof the famous Britannia. It feels, too, a deepsenso of regret at the passing over of LordJellicoe, formerly a competitor in our smaljboat racing on the Waitemata in his Xclass Iron Duke.
Arrangements have been made with theNational Broadcasting Service to have relayedthe following weather reports, each coveringthe Hauraki Gulf and environs: Each Satur-day at 1 p.m., each Saturday soon after 7p.m., each holiday, and over holiday periodsas at Christmas and Easter, between 7.45 and8 p.m.
Congratulations are extended to the NavalSailing Club on its racing activities and par-ticularly on its inter-club race in naval whal-ers. In particular, tho association thanksLieut.-Commander J. 1. Lean, R.N., for hisassistance and co-operation in this and inother directions coonected with the sport.
During the season the executive officersand certain delegates attended the preliminarymeetings of tho centenary celebrations com-mittee convened by His Worship the Mayor.These meetings have dealt with tho outlineorganisation of the function in its wide aspect,hut a special sports committee will shortlybe set up and on this committee yachtsmenwill necessarily he represented.
Record is made of the association's indebt-edness to Mr. E. J. Kelly, formerly chairmanof tltc association, and who was always willingto assist the sport and the association. Hehas now attained his majority as judge ofcombined cruising races of tho association.Thanks are also extended to the chairman andmembers of the Auckland Harbour Board, toCaptain 11. 11. Sergeant and other officials,and to the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squad-ron for the use of its rooms for meetingpurposes and for other courtesies, especiallyin connection with the Sanders and CornwellCup contests.
The association feels that yachting inAuckland has rarely had so favourable an out-look. There is considerable activity in thebuilding of new vessels, including many ofracing types, all affiliated clubs are in excel-lent financial positions and have their ownclubhouses, and there are prospects that be-fore long yachtsmen will have those reason-able facilities which are essential for theproper enjoyment of the sport and the pro-tection of the many hundreds of thousandsof pounds worth of pleasure craft afloat in theharbour. Such amenities in themselves willencourage still greater numbers to seek healthand relaxation afloat and give an added im-petus to yachting.
SNOOKER TOURNEY
AUCKLAND CHAMPIONSHIP
LAST EVENING'S MATCHESThe popularity of snooker was evidenced
last evening by a largo attendance, includ-ing a number of ladies, which was presentat the Auckland provincial amateur snookerchampionship for the Billiards, limited, Cup,held at Messrs. Billiards, Limited, showrooms.
In tho first game J. Molloy played E. C.Sutton. The former was tho moro accuratein the opening stages and secured an earlylead, but Sutton gradually settled down andhis more accurate play in the later stagesof the game enabled him to win by 47 pointsto 31.
In tho second game two penalty shots costSutton 14 points, but he soon gained thelead by accurate potting, rarely missing areasonable scoring chance. With only (he.pool balls remaining on the table the scoreswere level. Sutton potted the green and hiscue hall we.it in off, but Molloy potted thegreen, brown, blu'j ami pink and clinched thematch by 58 points to !58.
The final game provided somo splendidpotting by both players. Molloy, aided bya break of two blacks, gained a lead, butwith only the pool balls left the scores wereeven. Play was exciting over the final stagesand Molloy tied with the black ball. In thereplay Sutton gained the black and thematch.
11. Davies opposed \V. E. Hackett in thesecond match. Davies did not have manyopportunities in the early stages of the firstuanie owing to Hackett keeping tho contestas close as poss'blc. The scores were fairlyeven with only the pool balls left, but Daviespotted the greo l, brown, blue and pink bril-liantly and clinched the game by <>•_' pointsto 85. .
The second game was closely contestedand was eventually won by Davies afterHackett failed to make the best of his oppor-tunities when in a winning position, thefinal score being:—Davies, 49; Racket, 41.
The draw for to-night is as follows:—7.30 p.m., .T. J. Shepherd v. M. Walker;8.45 p.m., E. J. Goodliew v. A. Sntchcll.
NOTABLE CRICKETER
FRY TO VISIT NEW ZEALAND
MAN OF MANY INTERESTSNew Zealand is to have a visit from
that notable cricketer C. ]i. Fry, whois travelling to Australia by the Orionto write iVrr a lending London papera description of the plav (Turing thecoming tour. He will in due course go011 to New Zealand with the team.
During his travels Mr. Fry will writea hook which in all likelihood willembody matter other than cricket. Heis looking forward to his stay in NowZealand, where be hopes to have timefor some fishing an.l generally to seethe country. He made contact with theHigh Commissioner's office before de-parture and he was supplied with aconsiderable amount of information.
Mr. Fry is a man of many interests;as a writer ho has his own inimitablestyle. He in very keen about sea-train-ing for boys, and in this connection heis the Hon. Director of the NauticalSchool Training Ship Mercury. Hishome is at Hamble, on SouthamptonWater.
A friend recalls the fact that Fry,when in his prime, was approached tojoin an Australian M.C.C. team and re-plied that he would have gone if £2OOOcould have been allotted out of theproceeds to help the boys of tho Mer-cury. He still makes himself respon-sible for the continuation of this ex-cellent work.
BILLIARDS
OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
The open billiards championship was con-tinued in the Vulcan parlours last nielit,when R. Carrick defeated A. Rax. To-night's
gamo will be between J. Molloy and A.r isnon.
CONTRACT BRIDGEINTERPRETING BIDS
INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES
BY FINESSE
I have often seen it written by wisemen in bridge that text-books shouldnever be followed slavishly, with whichI agree entirely, as this line of actionwill tend to make stodgy players. Aswo learn more about modern contractwo insist on being allowed a certainamount of latitude as regards our bid-ding. If partner, in his sublime ignor-ance, does not understand a certainbid, we are inclined instinctively tosearch around fox reasons why he shouldnot understand it. But we are neverwrong ourselves; oh no.
So I think just a small word ofwarning is necessary some players,who pride themselves on being able tojudge whether a certain hand shouldbe bid in such and such a way. Theymay be right, and they may be wrong,but what they are inclined to overlookis that they are all departing (even ina small way) from uniformity whichis so excellently laid down in tho sys»tern which most people follow. And .inthe end two quite good players are sud-denly thrown together as partners andfind a fairly wide gap in their inter-pretation of a certain bid—but theyonly find it out after suffering a head-on collision with trouble meted out bytheir unsympathetic opponents.I find in my travels quite a bit of
difference about some of tho firstresponses to an opening bid of one ina suit, and it might possibly help alot of players if they will just comparetheir own ideas with the following andseo if there is any great dissimilarity.After all, a guessing competition isgroat fun sometimes, but it is no goodagainst expert bridga players (if thereare any).
You will remember a while back avery radical change came over thoopening suit bid of one. It was tight-ened up by about half an honour-trick,for the set purpose of creating a rebidin the hand if partner made any suittake-out, a two no-trump response, ora double raise in the opening bid suit,if you had not that extra half honour-trick you had to have a suit that youcould bid again with safety without,support from your partner. This is allquite simple, but ,how many players donot look at a hand from this "pre-pared" viewpoint, and simply open thebidding with some honour-strengthand hojx> for the besT;? But look your-self next time and see if there is notan awkward reply to make if your part-ner makes a certain response which hasto be replied to, somehow. If you arein doubt about opening after thistaking of stock, why, pass, and seewhat happens. It is not likely that youwill miss many games that may be con-cealed in the partnership, hands.
Difference in Strength of ReplyNow we come to your reply, as part-
ner of the opening bidder. One thing Ihave noticed, and that is an unwilling-ness to keep the bidding open(assuming no intervening bid fromsecond hand) except on a certainstrength. I think the idea is mostlyprevalent that you must have one anda-half honour-tricks as a minimum fora negative one no-trump. But thisshould depend on how your strength,whatever it is, is split up. If it is inthree suits it is quite right to make asubstantial reduction. My own idea is acouple of queens and a jack if in differ-ent suits. Just for your information Iwill give you what is sufficient accord-ing to the Gold Book. To an openingbid of one heart, bid one no-trump iflidding any of the following:—
How do these check up with yourown ideas?
One more fact about the one no-trump response; although it generallyshows balanced distribution (no veryshort suits) it must sometimes be madeon another type of relatively weakhand, even with a singleton, becausethere is no biddablo suit, or the suitis not strong enough to show. Thisshould always be avoided if at all pos-sible, especially when that singleton isin a side suit. When the responder isvoid in any suit he should not bid oneno-trump.
Weak hands in general call for aone no-trump response even with afive-card biddable suit, unless the suitcan be shown at tho level of one. fora response in any lower ranking suit atthe two-level should show morestrength (I will deal with this morefully later). This does not apply, how-ever, in the case of six-card suits, forany time the responder has a six-cardsuit, if lie is strong enough to respondat all, lie should bid that suit.
One of tho first principles of con-tract bidding enumerated sonio sixyears ago was that (unlike auction)"you do not take out on account ofweakness," but it has been found fromexperience (nil the modern biddingmethods, I would remind you, are notby any means the ideas "of one man,but have been evolved from the ex-perience of actual play by the world'sbest players) that a certain modifica-tion in tlifs respect is advisable; Jam referring to the six-card suit inan almost blank hand. With the six-card suit as trumps tho partnershiphands are probably worth three moretricks
Multiple No-trump ResponsesStill dealing with no-trump take-
outs, we come to tho next step, thetwo no-trump, a response where therecan be a great difference with certainplayers. Some players arc frightenedto make it where they should, andothers 1 have seen make it where theyshould only respond with one. The re-quirements arc 2} up to three-plus,or even Si, honour-tricks with a bal-anced distribution. ' Tho bare 2J-should bo reinforced with something,jacks or tens, and perhaps support forpartner's suit Some players think thata two no-trump take-out denies sup-port for partner's suit, but this isnot so. The responding hand may haveQ x x or K x x, or even more, but hois desirous of giving a good pictureof his strength and distribution; amere raise in partner's suit is muchmore likely to be passed by the open-ing bidder. The two no-trump, ofcourse, is forcing to game, and theresponder should remember this; hispartner may have a bare opening.
The three no-trump take-out doesnot occur very often, from what 1*have seen. It must have a 4-3-3-3 and3i to 4 honour-tricks. It serves a veryuseful purpose, really warning partnerthat there is an unlikely slam if hishand, also, is balanced, unless he hasa good deal more than an opener.The three no-trump is a very limitedbid, the difference between the mini-muni and tho maximum scarcely morethan half an honour-trick. Note it isto be preferred even when holding abiddable suit, or strong support forpartner's suit, perhaps enough tojustify a double raise. Check up onthis also.

ATHLETIC SPORTSRUGBY FOOTBALLINFLUENCE OF TOliliS
ALTERATIONS IN RULINGS
POINTS SCORING SYSTEM
The influence of a touring side fromone of the Dominions is felt most, inthe seasons following the tour, saysa writer in the London Times. If theinfluence lias been really strong forgood or ill—it is reflected in the formshown by British sides as a wholeagainst the next, hand of tourists.South Africa, for example, sent overso heavy a pack of forwards in 1931-:\2 that the growing disbelief ofBritish players in the efficacy of solidscrummaging, or at any rate their dis-inclination for hard shoving, receivedsome rude and timely shocks. Some ofthe shocks were handed on in duecourse to the Now Zealanders of 19U5-1936.
Behind the scrummage, unfortu-nately, British players had little tolearn from the South African playersin question. The one lesson they mighthave learned from Bonny Osier and afew others of his kind, that accuratekicking on the run is worth cultivat-ing, if not worshipping, was learnedrather poorly on the whole, yet, un-less one is much mistaken, it had itsinfluence all the same.
British kicking last season was a gooddeal less futile than usual. It was usedmore sparingly and with greater dis-cretion. Wales, on a frozen ground,beat New Zealand by means of tho skil-ful punt-ahead. Again, tf the develop-ment of a passing movement gainednothing from the last South Africantour, there was the convincing in-fluence of Craven to lend force to theexisting British belief in tho value ofstrongly-built scrummage halfbacks.
Our own contribution to methods ofplay has been a badly neededstrengthening of running power, it maybe said that the degeneration of tacti-cal back-play—:well-timed passing, andso oiir—had enjoined something of thesort. Actually back-plav might easilyhave sunk to the dreariest kind of kick-ing for safety. Instead there were anumber of fine runs-in last season andalso some excellent examples of back-ing-up.
ATTRACTIVE BACK PLAY
SOLID FORWARD WORK NEEDED
It is to be hoped that the absenceof the Dominion spur will not lessenthe keenness of British players to maketheir own 1936-.37 a further step for-ward in the matter of solid scrummag-ing. Attractive back-plav only becomespossible when the forwards are willingand able to open up the play in themanner intended by tbo rules of theRugby Union.
Those rules, incidentally, are likelyto be changed again in 12 months' time.The Rugby Union at its annual meet-ing last June unanimously supported anumber of important proposals by thecommittee. Three of the four HomeCounties are believed to favour the pro-posals, the more drastic of which, per-haps, affect the scoring of points. Adropped goal no longer may outpointa try, and that comparatively rareevent, a goal from a mark, may sinkin value from three points to two. Therecommendation, of course, will he con-veyed to the International Board.
The arguments for and against theencouragement of drop-kicking at goalas a means of snatching victory are toowell known to warrant repetition. Thosewho regret the reduction in value fromfour to three may, however, be re-minded that the use of the droppedgoal has not gone—it may still saveand even decide matches. Few, oneimagines, will oppose the change whichafter all merely helps to establish thefaat that a mark primarily is a defen-sive act and in all but the more occa-sional case amply rewarded by a freekick to touch.
BALANCING PENALTY KICKS
PUNISHMENT OF TRIFLES
While the committee was dealingwith scoring it might well have seizedthe opportunity to redress the balanceof penalty kicks, which, as they stand,often fail miserably to achieve justice.At the moment it often is a matter ofchance whether a penalty kick awardedfor a glaring offence against the rulesis of any value. Again it often hap-pens that a comparatively trifling sinis punished unduly merely because itwas committed in the region of goal.
Much as one hates saddling analready over-taxed referee with furtherresponsibility, it would be an excellentthing if he could order any penaltykick to be taken from an appointedspot, say, 30 yards directly in frontof the "posts. That would encourageboth fair play and good place-kicking.The idea at any rate is at least asworthy of careful consideration as thesuggested alterations in value of thedropped goal and goal from a mark.
Other suggested alterations wouldaffect the definition of the tackle andthe scrummage about which the mostconflicting views are held in variousparts of the British Isles. Attempts tocontrol illegal hooking and the purelydestructive activities of the wingingforwards so far have not been notable.for their clarity and practicability. Onecannot help feeling that the president,Mr. Greenwood, was largely right whenlie pointed out that a return to solidshoving would do more to tame thespoiler than any changes in the laws.
CYCLING CHAMPIONSHIP
Van Vliet, of Holland, won theworld's amateur sprint cycling cham-pionship at Zurich recently, beatingGeorget, of France, Collard, of Bel-gium, beat Sellinger, of America, inthe match for third place. C. B. Helps,the only British entrant, lost his pre-liminary heat. The professional titlewas won by J. Scherens, of Belgium,for the fifth year in succession. >
LEAGUE OFFICIALMR. C. A. SNEDDEN RETIRES
VERSATILE ADMINISTRATOR
TEN YEARS AS PRESIDENT
Owing to pressure of business andfor private and personal reasons Mr.C. A. Snedden, president of the NewZealand Rugby League, has decided toresign. During his term of 10 yearsas president Mr. Snedden has provedan efficient, popular and versatile ad-ministrator and much credit is due tohim for the progress made by thecode in recent years. Mr. Snedden'sability and enthusiasm in furthering theinterests of the game were quicklyrecognised, when, alter serving asAuckland delegate to the New Zea-land Rugby League for one year, hewas elected to the position of presi-dent, which he has held ever **ince.
Mr. Snedden belongs to an Auck-land family which holds a high placein sport in New Zealand. He was bornin Ponsonby and educated at St.Mary's Convent School, receiving hissecondary education at the SacredHeart College. He captained the col-lege eleven at cricket and later joinedup with the Ponsonby Club. Beforeleaving New Zealand with the artil-lery section of the Eighth Reinforce-nients for the war he representedTrentham Camp in a match againstWellington. His contingent arrived inEgypt just prior to the evacuation ofGaJlipoli, and was sent on to France,where it served in the Somme battleof September, 1916. The following yearhe was invalided home.
Mr. Sneddon rejoined the PonsonbyCricket Club and later captained theGrafton Club and played for Auck-land. He is now a life member of theGrafton Club. He had interests inother circles of sport, being promi-nent in hockey. He played for Pon-sonby and Auckland club teams andin representative trials on several oc-casions. He is a past president of theSacred Heart Old Roys' Associationand at one time acted as honorarysolicitor to the Auckland branch of theNew Zealand Life-Saving Association.
It is interesting to note that school-mates of Mr. Sneddon at Sacred HeartCollege • were G. Hart, Taranaki,Maurice and Cyril Brownlie, Hawke'sBay, all members of the 1924 AllBlacks, and D. Kenealv, a New Zea-land Rugby League representative.Mr. Sneddon is a brother of Mr. N.C. Sneddon, former Auckland and NewZealand cricket captain, and leader ofthe Ponsonby Club at the present time.Mr. N. C. Sneddon is now one of theNew Zealand cricket selectors. He andhis brother had the uncommon dis-tinction of each making centuries inone innings of a representative matchagainst Hawke's Bay.
Their father, the late Mr. A. Sncd-den, was also prominent in athleticspheres. He was a Rugby footballer,an active oarsman as a member ofthe East End Club, and a cricketer.He was well known in bowling circlesand was president of the AucklandCentre.

PLUNKET SHIELD
ENLARGING COMPETITION
MINOR ASSOCIATION PLAYERS
There was a lot of talk at the lastmeeting of the Southland Cricket Asso-ciation about the suggestion of theManawatu Association to urge for theinclusion of a fifth team in the PlunketShield competition. It was thoughtthat Manawatu is making the most ofthe fact that it holds the Hawke Cupand is about to try to secure recogni-tion for its players at the expense ofother minor association players.
A suggestion that both islands boincluded if extra teams are to bo ad-mitted was a good one, but from whatknowledge L have of the New ZealandCricket Council and its attitude overthe Plunket Shield competition thereis remote possibility of any minor asso-ciation ever being admitted to the com-petition, comments a Southland writer.
In some respects the council is wisein limiting the competition to the fourmajor centres. The example of the NewZealand Rugby Union in allowing alland sundry to compete for the Ran-furly Shield should not be followed.It cheapens, the major competition andleaves no line of demarcation betweenmajor and minor.
ASSOCIATION GAMEREPRESENTATIVE MATCH
THIRD contest with navy
CHANGES IN AUCKLAND TEAM
The Auckland Football Associationwill stage its final representativematch of the season at Blandford Parknext Saturday, when a further gameagainst the Navy will he held. Thiswill be the third occasion this seasonthat the Auckland representativeshave faced tlie Navy, each team hav-ing secured a victory. 'I he Navy sidewill be greatly .strengthened owing tothe fact that the sloops, H.M.S. Leithand H.M.S. Wellington, are now inport, and particular interest willcentre in. the coining contest.
A strong Auckland eleven has beenlielded, in spite of the fact that oneor two of the more prominent playersare not available. The side will havean excellent defence in Smith, Ger-rard and iiaggett. It is pleasing tosee Gerrard making a re-appearancein the team. The half-line shows analteration, with Chalmers, of Abels,occupying the centre-half position.With good support from F. Blackie andWalters, both of whom are showinggood form at present, Chalmers shouldprove capable of a forceful display.The forward line is a youthful one,C. Blackie and Stevenson, two youngNorth Shore players, beyig on theright, while the Ponsonby combination,Mullane and Farnan, is on the left.The centre-forward is Chapman, of thesame club.
CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
COMPLICATED POSITION
The senior championship competitionis in a rather complicated state at themoment, with Mount Albert Old Boysand Thistle both having chances ofsecuring the honours. Thistle has out-standing games against Mount Albertand Ponsonby, and the points of thesethree teams are: Mount Albert, 17;Thistle, 16; Ponsonby, 16. Thistle andMount Albert will meet on Saturday.A win to Mount Albert will give it thechampionship, while a loss or a drawwill necessitate the meeting of Thistleand Ponsonby. If Thistle draws withMount Albert, the former will need todefeat Ponsonby in order to gain thechampionship. A draw would mean thatMount Albert and Thistle would bebracketed for the premiership, whileif Thistle wins next Saturday, a drawwith Ponsonby would bo sufficient togive Thistle the honours.
Metro-College sprang a surprise inthe Falcon Cup competition last Satur-day by defeating Mount Albert OldRoys. The other two teams remainingin this competition are Comrades,which defeated Philomel, and Thjstle,which scored over North Shore. Owingto the lateness of the season, the auth-orities considered abandoning thiscompetion but, as the semi-finalstages have been reached, it has beendecided to finalise the contest. Comradesand Metro-College will play on Satur-day, the winner to meet Thistle in thefinal.
TOURING RUGBY TEAM
VISIT OF SOUTH AFRICANS
WEAKNESS AT FIVE-EIGHTHS\\ hen the South African Rugby team
comes over next season they are likelyto play unofficial matches in Perth anilAdelaide, in addition to those officiallyarranged. Indications are that theSpringboks will be a tough side toconquer, and that their matches withNew Zealand will be a test of Rugbystrategy, scrummaging and all-rounddefence.
A South African, writing to a Syd-ney friend, says: "Touching on the•South African Rugby team to playin Australia and New Zealand nextwinter, 1 might tell you that the inter-provincial tournament ended in favourof Western Province. Rugby of thehighest class was disclosed in all thecontests, but unfortunately for SouthAfrica no five-eighths of internationalclass have been discovered. The sameapplies to scrum-halves. But it is con-4'soling to know that Pierre tie Villiers,the veteran, played brilliantly through-out the tournament. He must, there-fore. bo looked upon as a certaintyfor the tour.
"It appears to be admitted now thatunless the selectors decide to appointa couple of brilliant threequarters forthe pivotal position South Africa willbe represented by five-eighths of sub-standard ability.
"It is hardly likely, ( however, thatthe committee will be prepared to ex-periment, and 1 feel sure that com-mon sense will prevail and the alter-native adopted by appointing eitherWaring or Babrow, or Jack Morkel,under the circumstances."
THE TENNIS VOLLEY
HINTS BY FAMOUS COACH
It is quite true that many lawntennis players are fascinated by thevolley, says D. Maskell, coach to theBritish Davis Cup team and Englishprofessional champion, but it is equallytrue that many tournament players ofconsiderable experience have failed toenjoy the thrill and excitement thatonly net play can provide. It is a phaseof the game well worth mastering,, butI must emphasise that this can onlybe achieved by concentration and a fairamount of regular practice.
During my experience of playing withand coaching players of every grade, 1have been surprised at the mistakenidea the majority have regarding thevolley. Many seem to think it is neces-sary to hit the ball hard and swingthe racquet as for a drive, in an en-deavour to get pace. Others are underthe impression that the shot is madewith the arm only. Another great faultT have encountered is that people donot realise the importance of footworkin order that the hall may be playedfrom the side, rather than in front, ofthe body.

A report published in England statesthat T. C. Lowry will be manager ofthe New Zealand cricket team that isto visit England next year.
Two of Sydney's foremost welter-weight boxers, Jimmy Day and HockeyBeimel I, have expressed a desire to visitNew Zealand. Bill Pluto, another Aus-tralian welter-weight, makes his NewZealand debut against Neville Mudg-way at Gisborne to-night.
The death occurred last week inChristchurch of Harold Knight, Can-terbury and South Island RugbyLeague centre-threequarter, and a pro-minent member of the Addington Club.Aged twenty-three, his death camesuddenly after an attack of pneumonia.
Two ladies who played with theBritish golf team which visited NewZealand last year figure prominently inrecent oversea events. Miss Pam Bar-ton won the American women's golfchampionship, and Miss Phyllis Wadewas runner-up in the English women'schampionship.
Feeling that the responsibility of act-ing as manager to the Streatham andMitcham Rugby League team has hadan effect on his play, George Nepiahas resigned the position, states theLondon correspondent of the Herald.He will, however, continue to captainthe team. Mr. H. E. Ashton, the formerplayer, will be manager.
The Surrey County Club recently in-troduced cheaper cricket after 4 o'clock.Kent followed suit with the sixpennygate after 4 o'clock. Next season Kentwill extend this principle. Admissionto all the "weeks" will be graduated:Is 6d from 11.30 to 1.30; Is from 1.30;and sixpence after 4 o'clock.
A patrol of Oneroa Beach, Waiheke,will he commenced on Labour Day bythe Waitemata Surf Life-Saving Club,which has taken over charge of thebeach. The club is obtaining theservices of Mr. H. P. C'ongdon, an in-structor from Australia, who has hadabout 30 years experience of surfpatrolling and life-saving.
The former New Zealand and Canter-bury cricketer R. J. Read is playingsenior grade again this season. Now50 years of age, Read started in Christ-church senior cricket 35 years ago. Lastseason he took 58 wickets for 748 runs.He has been a great asset to Canter-bury cricket and at his best had fewsuperiors as a bowler in New Zealand.
The annual professional road cyclingrace from Hamilton to Auckland willbe decided next Saturday. The eventwas first held in 1926, when A. Suth-erland won. Last year C. Rae won therace from a field of 52 off the 3lmmark, while H. G. Watson, using athree-speed gear, reduced the recordby almost nine minutes when he clocked3h 25m 31s.
An open amateur golf tournamentwill be hold on the Middlemore linksduring the Labour Day week-end. Thechief event will be a 36 holes scratchmedal for the Hislop Cup, while handi-cap and group matches will also beplayed. The course is in almost perfectorder at present and, as the tournamentattracts all the leading amateurs, itshould prove extremely popular.
There was some prodigious hittingat the Manly Golf Club's links on arecent Sunday, when a strong nor'-easter helped the ball along at severalholes. At the first hole, Harry Hat-terslev was pin high in the bunker onthe right. The distance is 315 yards.Norman von Nida was on the edge ofthe green. At the 17th (328 yards),von Nida found the bunker guardingthe green with his tee shot.
Mr. George Deare, ex-Dominionchampion bowling skip, who has justreturned from a health trip to Austra-lia, was among the players at the MountEden Club's green on Saturday. Hewas also present at Carlton the pre-vious week, 011 the occasion of theOtago-Southland match. He has left forWellington for a short holiday, and onhis return will probably be found inthe ranks of his former club mates atCarlton.
In 1929 L. E. G. Ames establisheda record for a wicketkeeper in Eng-land, catching 79 and stumping 48,and accordingly had the amazing num-ber of 127 batsmen as his victims. Onthe last tour to Australia Ames keptwickets in the test games, and Duck-worth loked on from the pavilion. Thistime Ames may confine himself tobatting, with Duckworth keepingwickets in the tests, says a Sydneywriter. Form must be the determiningfactor.
As it is definite that A. F. Kippaxhas retired Victor Richardson is likelyto run into premier position among theSheffield Shield aggregates in Aus-tralia until Don Bradman forges tothe front. Clem Hill, at present, hasthe highest number of runs to hisname, namely. 6274, Kippax comingnext with 6096, then V. Y. Richard-son with 6093. Don Bradman has made5372 runs at an average of 109.63! Itis almost beyond conception. Richard-son has made twenty-seven centuries infirst-class cricket, two of these (100and in one match against NewSouth Wales.
Upon his return to Sydney, Mr. C.Sproule, manager of the AustralianDavis Cup team, said its defeat in thechallenge round by the British teambad been simply duo to surprising formby Austin, when on the opening day—-the real deciding day—he defeatedJack Crawford. Mr. Sproule in no waysought to underestimate Austin's skilland pluck in that first decisive match,but treated it as it deserved—a pluckyeffort, by a fine player. The managerleft the impression that next year thesame team should play for Australia,and that its chances of success were asgood as those of any other nation.
The Otngo Centre of the New ZealandAmateur Swimming Association, whichlias set an example to other centres inthe wide scope of its instruction cam-paigns. is definitely reaping the fruitsof its foresight. The centre's annualreport stated that every year has seenan increase in the number of activeswimmers associated with the clubsunder its jurisdiction, and that thereturns for last season exceeded the2000 mark for the first time. This pro-gress the centre attributed in 110 smallmeasure to its extensive educationalwork over a period of years, and to thebenefits accrued in the country dis-tricts as a result of the visit of the Aus-tralian team I*ll 1934.
The first amateur provincial snookertournament to be held in Auckland isbeing staged at present at Messrs.Billiards, Limited, showrooms, manyof the best billiards and snooker ex-ponents being competitors. R. Carrick,a former amateur snooker champion, ofVictoria, who won tho Auckland bil-liards title last year, is taking part,other prominent players being 11.

With a never-to-be-forgotten thrill, visitorsfrom the younger coun-tries discover in Eng-land the reality of thepast. Whether in the
winding streets of York that echoed to the tumultof the Wars of the Roses, or in the drowsy quietof such villages as Castle Combe in Wiltshire,the passing of Time has changed little.

GOLF TOPICS
CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHESCOURSES IN GOOD ORDER,
MIDDLEiMORE JUNIOR FINAL
BY THE ROYER
Local golf courses were again inexcellent order during the week-endwhen fine weather prevailed. At .Middle-more the junior championship final wasdecided and by defeating F. A. Abbottcomfortably, H. S. Lusk showed dis-tinct. promise of developing into asound player. Lusk was out in 42 toobtain a lead of two holes aiul he gainedone more coming home, his stroke roundof 80, which included a 7 at one hole,being a creditable effort. In the after-noon Lusk commenced by winning thefirst two holes and although Abbottplayed more steadily from that stagehe was unable to make up the leeway.This is Lusk's first year as a memberof the club, but lie obtained his ground-ing in the game as a schoolboy in thetwo previous years.
One match in the senior semi-finalswas played, and by defeating B. H.Menzies, W. X. Abbott earned the rightto meet the winner of the game betweenH. B. Lusk and J. P. Aldred for thetitle. Usually Abbott's strength lies inhis ability on and near the greens buton Saturday his long game wassuperior to that played by his opponent.Although Abbott was out in 38 he was1 down, Menzies being astray with hisseconds but recovering well to hole outin one putt on two occasions. Abbottwas unlucky in finding the bunker atthe 10th and he became 2 down whenMenzies exploded from the sand andagain required only one putt. The 11thwas a fatal hole for Menzies as, follow-ing a good drive he played a very weakciip to lose the hole. Abbott then com-menced a similar run of figures to thosohe produced against I. MacEwan inthe previous round and he won four ofthe next five holes.
INTERMEDIATE PLAYERS/ '
CLOSE GAMES DECIDED
The semi-finals of the intermediatechampionship were closely contested. H.V. Coverdale won the first two holesfrom 6. S. Williams and after becom-ing 4 up at the turn he was notseriously troubled. The fortunes of thematch between G. C. Henderson andB. B. Armstrong fluctuated in apeculiar manner. Henderson was 3 upat the Bth and after losing the next twohe won the 12th with a good 4. Arm-strong played a brilliant tee-shot towithin a yard of the 13th hole and withhis opponent in the bunker it appearedto be a certain winner. Henderson,however, narrowly missed holing his6econd and his opponent was not equalto his putt for a win. By winning tho15th and 16th, Armstrong squared thematch but>' splendid -wooden seconds atthe 17tli and 18th enabled Hendersonto win both holes.
AKARANA CHAMPION
SUCCESS OF P. G. F. SMITH
Tber title of club champion of Aka-rana has gone to P. G. F. Smith, whodefeated G. Colt-man in an interestingfinal. With rounds of approximately 76the pair were all square after the firstround and the position was unchangedby the time they turned for home inthe afternoon. Going to the 32nd, C'olt-man had a lead of one hole, but he lostthe advantage at the next by being toobold with a four-yards putt for a winand then missing the return. Smith be-came 1 up at the 33rd and ho holeda tine putt at the next for his third2 iu the match to reach a doriny posi-tion.
In the previous round the golf in thematch between Smith and Wiggins wasof a particularly high standard, Smithhaving a stroke round of 73 to win onthe last green. The new champion hasa good range of shots and with experi-ence ho should take his place in thotop flight. Smith is taking part in thoNew Zealand championships which willbe commenced next week at New Ply-mouth and his progress will be followedwith interest.
NORTH SHORE SEMI-FINALS
BROWNE'S BRILLIANT ROUNDThe semi-finals of the senior cham-
pionship at North Shore were playedover 3b holes'/, an innovation in clubevents. In the match between A. E.Browne and J. W. Morrison the morn-ing round was evenly contested, butover the second eighteen holes Browneivas almost unbeatable. He was hittinghis tee-shots with great confidencewhile his short name was exemplary.Although Morrison played steadily liewas unable to copo with his opponent'sbrilliant round of 70 and the matchfinished at the 30th.
H. C. Stevens built up a good leadin the morning and by adopting boldertactics in the second round A. J. Sprag-gon held his opponent, but was unableto make up the leeway. The success ofBrowne and Stevens now leaven theseyoung rivals to fight out the final againand with/both players in good form afine contest should result.

RACING ABROAD
DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
In a lettor to Mr. W. A. Ure, secre-tary of the Akarana Yacht Club, Ilear-Admiral F. Burges-Watson, formerlyCommodore of the New ZealandDivision of the Royal Navy, who isnow residing in England, writes as fol-lows:—"My only connection with thesea now is through sailing. I have hada very successful season for a beginnerin these tricky tidal waters sailing withthe Bosham Sailing Club, and meetinghelmsmen from Itchenor (a greatcentre for small craft helmsmen includ-ing Uffa Fox), Emsworth and DellQuay, I have a 16ft. centre-board,clinker built half-deck dinghy. She isBermudan rigged and has a 29ft.hollow mast. Her beam is 6ft. and shecarries 1801b. of lead, which has pre-vented mo from capsizing so far. Ithas been a very bad year for sailing—-either a full gale or calms and cats-paws—and very seldom a good steadybreeze. This is an ideal spot, the creeksand indentations in the flat countrysurrounding what is called ChichesterHarbour make ideal small craft water.
"I find 1 do well in a steady breeze, 1but puffy conditions make it very diffi- I 1cult, as local tidal knowledge is very jimportant, and that can only be learned 'b.v continual sailing and careful observ-ation. I am thinking of buying a good 'old ex-Bristol Channel pilot boat of 'about 10 tons as a family cruiser. She 'belongs to Flight-Lieutenant Francis, -a brother of Lieutenant Francis'. ,H.N., who was one of the crew of the 'Tai-mo-shan. Ho has been ordered to 1Singapore. If I purchase her I intend Ito do a good deal of cruising next year. '1 am iilso a member of the Royal .N'aval 'Sailing Association Committee, so 1 have fa lot of sailing interests."
CRICKETER WELCOMEDFORMER DOMINION CAPTAIN
A very happy gathering of oldcricketers and athletes welcomed M •.

Tasmania, is visitingthe Dominion with the delegates to thecongress of the Chambers of Commerceof the British Ivnpire, and 011 his arri-val in Christchurch ho was honouredat a gathering in the home of Mr.Charles Clark, Thorrington.
Mr. Dan. I'cese, in a welcomingspeech, emphasised the leadership andorganising ability of the former Can-terbury cricket captain. Mr. HenryCotterill and Mr. ]J. C. Hidley endorsedMr. Reese's remarks.
Mr. Cud', in reply, said that it wasembarrassing to meet so many friendsand sportsmen of 'lO years ago. lie con-sidered that Mr. Dan. Reese was pro-bably the best all-round cricketer theDominion had produced. The standardf' ,

HOCKEY SEASON
CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONSSUCCESjS OF GRAMMAR TEAM
NEW ZEALAND SHIELD RETAINEDWith the conclusion of tlio two
trophy matches for the Kent Cup andthe Selector's Cup at Jtemuera on Sat-urday the Auckland Hockey Associa-tion closed its season. By winningthe Kent Cup Grammar Old Boyssecured the honour of champion ofchampions, while the Auckland rep-resentatives were henten by the Restfor the Selector's Cup.
The season, although not a notableone was most successful. Club hockeym Auckland was of a high standard,while 111 representative fixtures theteams did particularly well. The seniorrepresentatives, beating .Manawatu,\N ellington, A\aikato and Canterbury
odnt'10 Zealand Challenge
hnielci. Lho same team also beat Wai-roa and Poverty Bay. The# AucklandAssociation allowed the challenge shieldto be taken on tour and a match wasplayed against Manawatu.It was the first year that matcheswere played regularly at the Papa-toetoo reserve. The Remuera fieldswere in a fairly poor state at the com-mencement of the season, and it wasconsidered advisable to provide trans-port and play the senior games 011 thefields available at Papatoetoe. Thereis 110 doubt that this was responsiblefor a marked improvement in the gen-eral standard of hockey.
Eight teams competed in tho seniorgrade and Grammar Old Boys and St.Luke's were outstanding. Universityand Papatoetoe both did well in thoearly stages, but the strain of thesecond round, always tho most severe,saw these two sides fade awav con-siderably. Somerville and Y.M.C.Agave bright displays and, althoughnever serious competitors for thotrophies, could always be relied uponto extend the best teams. Mount Edenand Training College were consistentlyweak and hardly fulfilled senior stand-ard. Mount Eden improved in its lastfew games, but Training College showedlittle change.
The season was drawn out too longand for the past few weeks little in-terest was shown either by the playersor officials. Tho association would bowell advised next year to hold to aprogramme which would bring aboutthe finish of hockey some few weeksearlier. There were 110 internationalfixtures during the year, although inter-provincial games were more numerousthan usual. The season's play revealedno new talent of a startling nature inAuckland, but there are a number ofyoung players who show promise.
Auckland seems to be weak in goodhalfbacks at the present time. Thereare several good goalkeepers, backs andnumerous forwards, but there are fewhalves. Practically 110 prominent playersare retiring this year, so that pros-pects for the future are bright. Therepresentative team was comprisedlargely of young players, and by theirshowing this year Auckland should beable to defend the challengo shieldagainst tho strongest of pro\ incialteams for some time.
SPORT OF CYCLING
MANUKAU CLUB'S EVENTS
WARD SHIELD DEFENDEDEach season interest begins to wane
in the road sport immediately afterthe 100 miles provincial championshipevent and, as a consequence, compara-tively small fields contested the racesheld last Saturday. For improving thegeneral standard of road racing thomassed start Olympic type of eventhas definite advantages and nothingwas more evident from the results ofthe,three graded races conducted bythe Manukau Club. The course of 38miles from Birkenhead to Point Chev-alier was a particularly strenuous oneand included a mile long climb at thovery start of the events.
Only six started in the A grade, but14 contested the B grade and 13the C division. The O grade riders leftfirst and an interval of five minuteswas observed between the departure ofthe other two sections.
R. S. Triner won the A grade eventafter outsprinting L. M. Nicholson bythree lengths and clocked lh 48m Is.Triner has been riding with great bril-liance for the past three months, and,although only 18 years of age, is ex-pected to figure high in the Dominionroad championship race next Saturdayweek.
Nicholson was slightly inconveniencedin the sprint on account of four brokenspokes in his rear wheel, which wasrubbing lightly against the off sidebrake block. He received the mishapwhen .J. P. Price fouled his rear wheelafter 15 miles had been ridden. Price,who was riding strongly at the time,was compelled to retire. J. Brown wasdelayed with a pedal which became un-screwed, while C. P. Cochrane lostinvaluable minutes when he had todismount and inflate one of his tubulartyres.
, VARIABLE GEARS USED
SECOND WIN FOR T. N. BASSETTMaking very free use of their vari-
able gears, E. G. Mynott and G. H.Cunningham helped to accelerate thepace of the B section riders so muchthat, at the top of the long climb ofthe Albany Hill, 11 miles out. thisgroup had overhauled several of the Cgrade men and were only two minutesbehind the leading riders of the lattersection. A. Elia, the Boachhavon riderwho won, has had many successes indistance races, notable of which was asecond placing in last year's 100 mileschampionship.
Twv> Papatoetoe Club riders. W. H.White and N. E. Noonan. were firstand second respectively in the C graderace. Both joined in with the B grademen when their section was overhauledand confimied with flic leading ridersof the latter section.

DEFEAT OF PERRYKELAXATION MOST PROBABLE
Donald Budge, America's comingI.iwn tennis champion, scored his firstjvin m a real contest over I'Ycd Perrvny beating him in the final of thesingles championship at ],os Angeles.Ino success, well earned, is consistentwith earlier promise, but, without be-littling it,, I 1red Perry could not havethe keenness of Budge, says an Aus-tralian writer. He has gone througha heavy season and would be unwisenot to relax, while Budge has all towin and naught to lose. Tho courtsare of concrete and Budge has grownup on them, but Perry is not unusedto this surlaoe. The score was de-cisive, o—2, 4—o, o—2, o—3. Yet thisis so severe that it points to a relaxa-tion.
'J ho American association has de-clined the invitation of Australia tosend Budge and his team-mate, Mako,to Australia this season.
THE GAME OF BOWLSCLUBS OPEN SEASON
MANY SUCCESSFUL FIXTURES
EDWIN STARS CHANGE HANDS
nv skip
City clubs opening tho season on Sat-urday last wore Takapuna, Rawhiti,Edendale, Ualmoral and Mount Eden,while tho outer suburban fixtures wereat Mangero and Manurewa. Quite tholargest crowd of players during theafternoon was seen at Mount Kden.Here the greens presented a fine sightand they played as well as they looked.'There is no doubt that the Mount Kdengreens are in the first flight of loealplaying areas. The Queenstown weedwhich was introduced into the greenssome years ago lias made rapid growth,with the result that the number one
green is now covered all over, whilethe number two green is nearly so.
The many players taking part onopening day were most enthusiastic illtheir praises regarding the conditionof the lawns. Mr. J. E. Comes, thisyear's president, took the opportunitywhen making his opening remarks ofreferring to the fine playing areapossessed by tho club and lie thankedall those who had assisted in bringingabout that condition. A nice gesture011 the part of the president was hisinvitation to Mrs. Dignan, wife of theimmediate past president, to roll thefirst bowl after Mrs. Cornes had sentalong the first jack of the season. Itwas a tribute to both Mr. and Mrs.Dignan, who had done so much forthe club during the former's threeyears' tenure of office.
BALMORAL MANAGEMENT
ENTHUSIA STIC OFFICEUS
Mr. G. W. A. Clark, who has hadmuch to do with the management ofthe Balmoral Club during the past fewyears, handled things well when heopened the proceedings in his officialcapacity as president of the club. Mr.L. C. H. Dawson was the centre'srepresentative present, while the mem-ber for tho district, Mr. W. T. Ander-ton, was in attendance to add his goodwishes for the coming year.
Tho Edendale green, which has comeinto prominence of late years, wasagain in good order for the openingevent. At the head of affairs this yearis Mr. R. Smith, who learned his bowlsat the West End Club with such old-timers as the late Messrs. John Courtand J. W. Swales. Messrs. E. Jnderand M. J. Walsh, the centre's repre-sentatives, tendered their good wishes.
There was quite a good atmosphereprevailing at Rawhiti, where the presi-dent, Mr. A. (!. Mason, opened pro-ceedings. Such a great enthusiast, Mr.Mason has the club spirit thoroughlyat heart and the ability to impart thesame to his members. Mention wasmade of the success of the Thomsonfamily, father and son, in the openevents of thto tournament section. Mr.J. H. Keith, country representative onthe centre executive, was present inhis official capacity.
The Takapuna Club was officiallyopened on greens which bear evidenceof careful management and hard workduring the off season. Mr. H. Rceder,president, was assisted by Mr. W. J.Truscott, the centre representative, andthe member for the district, Mr. W. J.Lyon, paid a tribute to the worthinessof bowls as a health asset.
FUNCTIONS IN COUNTRY
GREENS IN GOOD ORDER
Both the Mangere and ManurewaClubs had Parliamentary representa-tion, the former having Mr. C. R.Potrie and the latter Air. A. C. A.Sexton present at the opening cere-monies. Mr. W. H. Tongue conveyedthe centre's good wishes at Manuere,while Mr. R. P. Hill did likewise atManurewa. At both places the greenswere in good order and give indicationsof standing up well to the season'swork.
The final nfhtch for the Edwin Starswas played on Saturday at the MountAlbert green, when the home team,skipped by G. Clark in place of Glenis-ter. had to submit to defeat on thelust head by F. \V. Breckon's Hally-burton Johnstone Club team. MountAlbert was two points to the goodwhen playing the final head, but theHallybnrton Johnstone front mensecured good position, and, Clark beingunable to save, the challenging teamscored the necessary three points fora win. This marks the first time theHallybnrton Johnstone Club has heldthe stars, which it will hold until nextwinter season.
The Howick Club will open its seasonon Saturday week. This country club,whose president is the well-knownveteran Mr. A. Solby, has been ratherhard hit through the deaths of mem-bers. Two of its best players are atpresent in hospital. The club wouldwelcome the support of city visitorsat its two tournaments next month.
TEST CAPTAINCY
ELIGIBILITY OF BOWLERS
Discussing the problem of whetheror not a fast bowler can successfullycaptain a test side, P. G. 11. Fender,Surrey and England, says he neverheld the view that a man who is abowler cannot bo a captain. In fact,he has always held that if he were abowler, slow or medium, ho had cer-tain opportunities of getting informa-tion about the opposing batsmen whichwere not open to non-bowling captains.
Fender writes:—Rut the matter ofa fast bowler is the point. I think itis fair to say that he may not haverecovered his breath until the bowlerat tiie other end lias bowled two orthree balls, and that is not conduciveto a captain having his eves on everylittle point and his mind working ailthe time to plan and scheme for thebenefit of his men.
Regarding Kngland's captain, G. O.Allen, on the forthcoming tour of Aus-tralia and New Zealand, Fender says:1 feel that, in the trial, Allen, whilenot acquitting himself at all badly,did not do anything to make certainthat being a fast bowler wai no han-dicap. Certainly he lacks experience asa ca.otaiu, if not as a player, and itmay he that those matters over whichlie was criticised in the course of thatmatch were due more to this than tothe handicap of his type of bowling,but 1 feel that, for those who wishedto see, there was some very valuableinformation to bo obtained.
DEMPSEY IN POLITICS

INCREASE IN MEMBERSHIP*
HARD-COURT CLUBS' PROSPECTSnv SIDELINE
Although no grass-court clubs willcommence play until the end of themonth, most of the hard-court clubshave held their official openings andthe Auckland Lawn Tennis Associationhas been well represented. The presi-dent, Mr. H. Clay, has been particu-larly busy and has visited a large num-ber of clubs during the last three week-ends.
Generally speaking, hard-court clubsreport an increase in members and inft number of instances clubs are full.All anticipate a successful season andtheir courts and appointments appearin better order than ever before. Sev-eral clubs are giving attention to theirpavilions, and, in most instances where
renovations arc proceeding, provisionis being made for a social and danceroom.
It is early in the season to endeavourto assess the strength of clubs whichwill be taking part in the association'sinter-club competition, but present in-dications are that an increase in thenumber of teams taking part and ahigher standard of play can be ex-pected.
The Hall.vburton-Johnstone Club,which won the second grade hard-court
] section last season, will again be enter-; iny; teams in the second, third, fourth| and fifth grades, and, although somelof last season's representatives have
• left, it is expected that the teams'standards will bo maintained.
15v reason of its good performanceslast season the Mount Eden Club willthis year bo advanced to the secondgrade and should do quite well. WestKnd, which won the third and fourthgrades and did reasonably well in thesecond grade, expects to improve onlast season's showing and will offerstrong opposition in all grades in whichteams are entered.
Jn the junior grades some of theclubs from North Shore should showto advantage, notably Melrose Park,liirkdale and Ngataringa.
The Seddonian Club has taken overthe courts in Mountain Road occupiedby Pukeroa and lias commenced itsseason with approximately 50 old Puke-roa members and 40 others, who are oldscholars of the Technical College. Mr.T. W. Hosking is president.
The Campbell Park Club, the onlyhard-court club to date to gain A graderanking, was opened by the president,Mr. J). G. Alfrev, when a large num-ber of new members was made wel-1come. The club is entering teams in all Igrades of the Auckland Association's Icom|H'titions this season and with anumber of new players to select from ;has expectations of being strongly rep- jresented. Last season the two third ;
grade teams won their sections, while !
the other teams showed up well in their jrespective grades. During the winter imonths the social side of the club has !not been neglected and card evenings jhave been held every fortnight, while ;a highly successful dance was held onthe evening of the opening day. Specialefforts are again being made this sea- Ison to cater for new players, two mem- |hers of the committee being especiallydetailed to introduce players and ar-range games. The club still has a fewvacancies for members.
OVERSEAS VISITS
CHAMPIONSHIPS AT TIMARTJ
It does not seem likely that therewill be any important overseas tennisteams playing in tho Dominion duringthe coming season. Efforts are beingmade in Australia to arrange for the jvisit of an American team, and forsome Japanese players, but present in- [dications are not encouraging. The New
Zealand Association is negotiatingfor a visit of some of Australia's lead-ing players, although nothing definitehas so far been fixed.
It is suggested that the visitors 1should take part in the New Zealand jchampionships, which this season are jto be played in Timaru from Decern- ;her 30 to January 5. F. J. Perry also 1may be seen in Auckland on his waj'to or from Australia.
RIFLE SHOOTING
HIGH AGGREGATES SCORED
FINE CLUB PERFORMANCEA threatening sky kept a.fair per-
centage of marksmen away from Pen-rose on Saturday, but those who at-tended were favoured with shootinggallery conditions so far as the windwas concerned. The second detail toshoot at 500 yards suffered to a certainextent by a light shower, the only rainto fall during the afternoon. Visibilitywas poor, as the light was particularlydull, but it compensated for this byremaining regular and the aggregatesfor the day were exceptionally high. Inthe City Club alone no fewer than 15marksmen registered 91 or better,which is unquestionably the finest clubperformance seen on the local range fora very long time. In fact, some of theoldest riflemen cannot remember any-thing approaching the standard set onSaturday.
Pride of position was won by thatbrilliant young Akarana shot, *R. F.Wakefield, with o, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5,5, s—-19,5 —-19, and 5, 5, 5, o, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5,5—19. One of the best all-roundersAuckland has produced, Wakefield maynot be altogether consistent in clubshooting, but he gave a taste of histrue form on Saturday and made anaggregate very few are able to reach.
F. JJowos, City, was next with 5, 6,5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5,—4!), and 5, 4,5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 4, 5—48. With onlyone practice this season this was alsoa brilliant eH'ort and Bowes promisesio be the most difficult to dispose of inthe City championship this season.
Another young Akarana member inT. Uevan created a mild surprise inreturn a card reading 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5,5, o, .0—I!), and 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5,4, 5, 4 —47. Bovan is a solid serviceshot, having won the Auckland terri-torial title, and he is obviously muchimproved as a hullseve marksman. 'J'.L. lilomfield, A. .1. Pieterson, 1. .T.Spry, all of the City Club, ami W.C'olquhoun, of Akarana, were only six•points down on the day, the first-namedbeing particularly unfortunate in pit-ting one shot away for an "outer at
I 000 yards, the other nine shots beingin the hullseve. Pieterson's. effort wasa splendid one for a man of his age.
In the J] grade H. G. Collingwood,of the City Club, is showing marked im-provement this season and he regis-tered a 94 on Saturday. The man whocan beat his aggregate this year shouldwin the junior championship. Anothersterling performance by one in the sameclub was that of I. G. Campbell, aGrammar schoolboy, wljo made 4, 5, 5,5, 15, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, —48, and 5, 5, 4,5, r>, 4, 5, 5, 4, 440.
Two other youths who are showingpromise are A. J). Chatfield and I'.Clark, but they will require time tobecome solid. Great interest will hetaken in the competition on Saturdaynext when the smaller bullseye will bein use in this centre for the first time.A decrease in the area of three-tenthsof the old bullseyo will prove a severetest to many.

Postal boxnumbers are not accepted as bona fideaddresses. Initials or a |weiidonyin mustalso be given for purposes of referencein the column.Mother.—The Agricultural Workers Act re-
lates so far only to dairy farms, and notto workers on sheep farms. A "diiiry funnmeans a farm on which not less than 10cows are ordinary kept, and from whichmilk or cream is sold or otherwise disposedof in the course ot business.
Justice.—The liability of an attendant tak-ing charge of overcoats at a hall is, in
the absence of a contract to the contrary,dependent upon (here being some negli-
gence on his part in taking care of thearticle left in his charge. His liabilitywould not extend to valuables left inpocket unless ho was notified of the factand accepted responsibility.
Interested.—The Agricultural Workers Actcame in(o force on October t, 1030, fromwhich date the rates payable thereunderby way of wages apply.
Chair.—If you employ your two sons on adairy farm and pay them wages, you mustin accordance with the provisions of ThoAgricultural Workers' Act, 1030, paythem the standard rates of pay laid downthereby, namely, for workers under 17,17s 'id per week; of 17, but under 18,£1 2s Od per week; of 18, but under 10,£1 7s Od per week; of 10, but under 20,£1 12s Od per week; of 20, but- under21, £1 17s Od per week: of 21 and up-wards, £2 2s Od per week. These ratesarc current until July 31, 1037. Theywould in addition to the minimum rateof pay be entitled to board afid lodging,or in lieu thereof an additional allowanceof 17s Od per week. No child under 15shall be employed for biro or rewardas an agricultural worker on any dairyfarm, but this shall not apply to any childunder 1"> employed at (lie date of thepassing of the Act, October I, 1030.
Argument.—The order of priority on bank-ruptcy, and this also applies in the caseof the liquidation of a company, is;—M)The. official assignee's expenses. (2) Thocosts of any creditor or of the debtor inbankruptcy proceedings. (3) The assignee'scommission. (I) Wages. (5) (tent not ex-ceeding three months, and subject to ihorobeing distrainable goods on the premises.10) Ordinary secured creditors. (7) Inter-est on debts. (8) Any surplus to the bank-rupt.
Anxious.—It. depends upon the date of yourGovernment mortgage. If it is a securityissued unde-' the Mortgage Corporation Art,or its subsequent amendment, the StateAdvances Corporation Act, there will bea provision that the principal sum may becalled up in the event of a sale or otherdisposition. To be on the safe side >oushould get the consent of the corporation.In the circumstances you will have nodifficulty.
W.M.—Neither the land nor the mortgagewill bo included in the calculation of yourproperty for the purpose of old-age pen-sion, but the Government stock, HarbourBoard stock and cash amounting to £BSOwill result in a deduction of £35 frontthe full pension of £52.
Octo.—(1) If you can prove the promiseyou are entitled to the higher rate ofpay for tho period. (2) In the absence ofexpress agreement you are not entitled toyour travelling expenses to or from thejob on tho farm
I.N'.T.—You would be entitled to a pensionof £■! per annum, which will be increasedto £'lo 10s after December 1, l!>:i<>.Your wife will not be entitled to a pen-sion until she is (50 years of ago.
ATE.E.—The mortgagee may agree to makesome further advance to enable you toremove and reconstruct the drains to thehouse, but he is under no obligation todo so.
Concerned.—The new Mortgage Relief Actwill apply to this property. Briefly put. thovalue of the farm will be fixed in rela-tion to its productivity. The mortgage orbalance purchase money on it will be re-duced to that amount, as far as securityis concerned. The balance will be what,is termed as "adjustable debt," and iftiie farmer has any available assets, willbe paid out of such assets', otherwise willbe written off.
II C.—see answer to Concerned.Ul s je if both the husband and wife have
assessable property the Pensions Depart-ment permit a deduction of £SOO fromtho property of each, and do not takethese amounts into consideration in assess-ing. any old-age pension payable. The de-partment's method is to first make thededuction from the property of each party,then add the balance property of eachtogether, and the result is divided bytwo, tho final amount representing thoaccumulated property of each. Kach partyis then assessed on such final amount ofaccumulated property. If, however, only-one or the parlies to tho marriago»hnsproperty assessable, there is only one de-duction of £SOO permitted. Where bothhusband and wife arc drawing the old-age pension they oaih have separate pen-sion certificates, and draw their pensionsseparately.
Argentine.—lf you rcccivo any money orproperty during tho course of tho pensionyear, either by way of income or capital,which will affect the amount of pensionto which vou are entitled, you shouldnotify the Pensions Department. If yourincome from all sources docs not exceed£52 per annum your pension would notbe affected.
Turltey.—There Is a special provision inthe Agricultural Workers Act. liKlfi, relat-ing to board and lodging for agriculturalworkers on dairy farms, providing thatno charge shall be made for board andlodging for agricultural workers by theiremployers, and that where board and lodg-ing is not provided by the employer theminimum iate of wages payable shall beincreased by 17s Od per week. If yourson is employed on a dairy farm he wouldbe entitled to £1 Ts fid a week, being theminimum iate of pay for workers of ISyears of age and under Ift years, plusthe 17s Od a week board and lodgingallowanco. The Act has been in force sinceOctober 1, 11W0.
M.C.N.—Notwithstanding any agreement yonmay have come to with your husband asto tho amount payable to you or yourchildren, you are entitled to take pro-ceedings under the Destitute Persons Actfor an increase. The magistrate will haveregard to the agreement, but if he thinksthe circumstances have so altered that anincrease is warranted, he will make anorder. If you had not agreed to accepta specific sum, you would he entitled topledge your husband's credit for actualnecessities even though you wero separatedand living apart fropi him, and suchnecessities would have included proper medi-cal attention, but from your letter youappear to have agroed to accept a definitesum, and your authority to pledge yourhusband's credit is thereby revoked.
Michael.—lf the application for a State Ad-vances Corporation loan proceeded to valua-tion, and the valuation fee was paid byyour solicitor, you must repay your solici-tor tho amount of the \aluation fee, to-gether with his costs to date whothor youaccept the loan or not.
Anxious.—If your wife has been confined ina mental hospital for seven years, andyou can prove that sho is unlikely to re-cover, you can lake proceedings for adivorce. If you are not worth £SO afterpayment of your debts, and, in tho opinionof independent counsel have a good case,you can apply to petition in formapauperis. If the Court is satisfied that yourfinancial position is such that you cannotafford to pay the ordinary costs of thedivorce an order will be made. You shouldconsult a solicitor, whose duty it is to ad-vise you on tho procedure. Tho cost, if nnorder is made, would be £5.
Mixed.—The farm appears to come withinthe definition of a dairy farm, as morethan ten cows are kept, and it is as-sumed that milk or cream is sold or dis-posed of in the course of business. Agri-cultural workers on a dairy farm em-ployed for not less than four weeks con-tinuously are entitled to a holiday of notless (ban seven days for every twelveweeks of employment at such times as theemployer thinks fit, but so that not lessthan 28 days in the aggregate shall boallowed during each year of employment.There seems to be nothing in (lie Act tosay that an employee must have ft cer-Inin number of consecultive days, and al-though this point is bound to bo raised,on a strict construction of Ihe Act, theSaturday and Sunday you give your em-ployee off once it month could he deductedfrom the 28 days holidays, leaving onlyfour days' holiday to be given to theemployee. Some regulation may, however,bo mado requiring so many consecutivedays to bo given, or some decision madeto Hint effect.
Ij.fi.—The person should bo able to gettho widow's pension on account of nilthree children, even though ono is illegiti-mate, if it is in fact in her charge andbeing maintained by her. She will requireto prove that her husband deserted her,and that she has taken proceedings to ob-tain a maintenance order under Tho Des-titute Persons Act, and that such orderhas not been complied with, and that she
* dooH not know where her husband is. Ifproceedings have not already been takenit would appear from tho wording of the
' new amending Act that they must botaken before an application for the pen-sion will be considered, even though it isknown from the beeinning that they willbe hopeless.
Honest Victimus.—lf the goods have beenstolen you havo acquired no title to tliem,even though you are a bona fide purchaserfor value without notico of any fraud ormisdemeanour, and you will have to handhack the goods to the police. You areentitled to he reasonably satisfied that thogoods have been stolen.
Mangere.—Write to (he Registrar General ofBirths and Deaths, Edinburgh, Scotland,for the birth certificate giving full de-tails. The fee charged in Scotland for abirth certificate is 2s, anil your bestcourse is to forward a British postalorder to yield I his amount, which wil'cost you 2s 7d- ,
T.W.H.—"Agricultural worker" under thenew Agricultural Workers Act, 1030,means a person employed for any periodexceeding one week in agricultural or hor-ticultural or ppsloral or flax-milling orsawrnilling work of any kind, but does notinclude h shearer within the meaning ofthe Shearers' Accommodation Act, or anvperson being trained at any institutionfor the training of agricultural workersor any apprentice under tho Master andApprentice Amendment Act, 11)20." TheAct applies to dairy farms only as yet.If you and your husband are both engaged-in full-time farm duties, such as milking,you would each be entitled to the adultwage laid down by the Act, namely, £2 2sfid each per week. Tho provisions of theAct apply to a weekly hiring, and eventhough jou may only spend part of thetime milking, lite details you give pointto a weekly hiring, and you would be en-titled to the full wage. You would also
be entitled to board and lodging. Yourposition is complicated and you shouldwrite to the Inspector of Factories at Ham-ilton for a definite decision, as (heoperation of (he Act is only in its embryostages, and points surli as you raise arebound to be the subject of official deci-sions. Your employer is correct in deduct-ing wages tax on account of wage, houseand milk.
At a Loss.—Cl) Under the AgriculturalWorkers Act, if both husband and wife areengaged in full-time farming duties on adairy farm, each is entitled (o tho fulladult age (if they are over 21) of £2 2s(id per week. Further, no charge shallbe made for board and lodging for agri-cultural workers on dairy farms by theiremployers. Where the worker is not pro-vided with hoard and lodging by his em-ployer the minimum rate of wages shallbe deemed to be increased by 17s (id aweek. (2) The Act came into force
- on October 1, 1036. (3) Every agricul-tural worker who is employed on a dairyfarm for not less than four weeks con-tinuously is entitled to seven days' holi-day for every 12 weeks of employment,(o be allowed when his employer thinksfit, but so that not less (han 28 daysin (he aggregate shall be allowed duringeach year of employment. If a workeris allowed a half-holiday from noon for(lie remainder of the day once a week, the28 days may be reduced to 1-1 days. (4)The worker receives ordinary wages forholidays and half allowance for board whileaway. If the wife is engaged in part-timefarming duties it would be advisable toapply to the nearest Labour Departmentfor a ruling.
Inquirer.—You first ascertain (he place anddale of death. You next ascertain if anywill was made by the. deceased and if soin what Court it was proved. You (benmake inquiries from any solicitor actingas to next of kin, relatives, etc., known.
Doubtful.—As far as your income and prop-erty are concerned you would be entitledto tho full old-age pension. Tho datesof your residence in New Zealand andyour residence abroad are necessary be-fore an opinion can be expressed on yourresidential qualification. The general ruleis that you must have resided continu-ously in New Zealand for not less than20 years prior to your establishing a claimfor
*
the pension, but this is subject tocertain exceptions, which may apply Inyour case.
Nero.—lf the rent from the property notoccupied by you, after deduction of rates,repairs and insurance, and any interestpayable on any mortgage of the property,exceeds £.r >2 per annum, a deduction willbe made from the old-age pension of £1for every £1 of excess. In tho case youquote it' appears thai you and your wifewill be entitled to the full pension, as-suming (hat you and your wife have nofurther source of income. The recent Pen-sions Amendment Act has excluded landor any interest in land, including mort-gages, from computation as accumulatedproperty. Before the Act you would nothave been entitled to a pension.
Ignoramus.—The Impounding 'Act providesthat, subject (o certain exceptions, whichdo not apply in this case, a poundkeepermust impound cattle in the nearest ac-cessible pound. Therefore, if it is rea-sonable to drive the animals impoundedall the way to the pound on the daythey are impounded, this should be done.If
'
however, having regard to the timeof' dav at which the impounding (akesplace and the distance to (he nearest ac-cessible pound, the animals cannot be driventhat day, (ben it is not unreasonable for
I tlie animals to be driven to tho pound! on the day following the impounding.' The poundkeeper can impound the cattle
in some convenient place during thej and if he (akes them to the pound on
, the following day, he would be entitledi to charge fees as for two days, plus driv-
i ing fees.Deeply Concerned.—You could apply under
I the Mortgagors and Lessees RehabilitationAct, which has just become law, for an
! adjustment of your rent payable under theI lease of the farm property. The rent will
be fixed, having regard to the productivevalue of the property in the hands of anefficient farmer, and also having regardto other liabilities, such as repairs, im-
provements, fencing and other matters thatthe lessee has to do.
(Hd Ladv -—You should notify the PensionsDepartment of your new source of income.
From vour pension there will be deductedthe sum of £l3 per annum, representinga deduction of il tor each £1 of yourincome in exiess of £•>'«!.
Blazer.—There is no prescribed form of dressfor witnesses in tho Magistrates Court.Their dress should be decent. and respect-able out of respect to the Court, but unlessit is indecent or in some way an exaggera-
tion amounting (o an insult tho magistratecannot take any action.
Double Cross.—It is probable that most bankswould refuse to allow the old man, whocan neither read nor write to open andoperate oil a bank account himself, lheonlv method he could possibly adopt wouldbe to sign with a cross beforo two wit-nesses, and this is a method that tho bankwould find very difficult to check. Itis possible that under certain condi-tions a bank might be prepared toallow such an account; if, for in-stance all cheques had to be signedbefore the accountant of a certain branchand witnessed by two bank officers, or someother conditions wore made, but this wouldhe a very cumbersome and almost impractic-able method of doing business. Theproper method is for him, since he musttrust someone as he can neither read nprwrite a cheque, to put complete trust in
an attorney and allow him to operate hishank account. If lie appointed a solicitorhe would be protected by tho solicitorsfidelity guarantee fund.
ATTACK BY NATIVES
NEW GUINEA TROUBLE
DISTRICT OFFICER WOUNDED[FItOM OUR OWN COHRKSI'ONDENT]
SYDNEY, Oct. 8More trouble has been reported
among the warlike Hai Coast natives ofNew Guinea, who have attacked policoparties twice within the past twomonths. Attacked by natives while onpatrol, Assistant District Officer Nur-ton was severely wounded. All the mem-bers of the camp were wounded. Sixof the attacking natives were killed andone woman was captured.
The attack was made in the nroa inwhich an administration patrol, alsotinder Mr. Nurton. was attacked last.Inly, when a native police constablewas killed and four other nativeswere wounded. The more recent troubleoccurred when Nurton was conductinga peaceful inquiry. The natives, includ-ing women, who were armed, made asurprise attack oil Nurton's camp, whenonly four native constables were withhim. Men and women approached Nur-ton and said that they desired peace.
The men, it is stated, then seizedNurton, while the women attacked himwith knives. Other men attacked thenative police with arrows. r l ho attackwas repulsed and Nurton and his menmade their way to their pinnace onthe beach. Nurton's injuries includedn compound fracture ami dislocation ofthe left ankle, apparently caused by anaxe. numerous minor knife wounds, andbody abrasions. The condition of hisfoot is critical. Two of the administra-tion officials and native police havebeen sent ft'om Rabaul to the restivedistrict.
The !?ai Coast natives were deprivedof their land by the pre-war Germanadministration as a punishment for anobortive plot, betrayed bv one of theirown tribesmen, to attack Madang andmassacre the white inhabitants. Someyears later the natives readily cameunder the British mandated control,and their lands were restored by theAdministration of the Territory. Sincethen the Uai men have made remark-ablo progress toward civilisation, andhave displayed little belligerence untilthe past two months.

THE INNOCENT IMPOSTORBy D. B. UPSON
CHAPTER XVIII.—(Continued)Cora took one swift glanco round.
They wore approaching a forbidding-looking house built of granite andstanding perched up on a lonely coast-line. The house was nearly at tho edgeof tho cliff, which dropped down a sheer200ft. or so to the rocks below. Sheshivered. There was not another habi-tation in sight, and somehow tho lookof those rocks filled her with unknownterror. It would be so easy to pet ridof a person hero. One push and allwould be over.
Her gloomy thoughts were shared byMiss Webb, who did not feel at allhappy as she stood watching the preci-ous luggage. Her only hope lay inappealing to Joseph Leverson. So longas they had this girl tacked on to themthey were in danger. It would bebetter to put her on tho spot at onceand have done with it.
Cora was forced upstairs to a smallattic room at the top of tho house."Eet ees not necessairo that 1 stay herewiz her, ees eet?" Sophie asked art-fully. "We can'lock 'er in and—"
"You stay—l don't want any of yourideas—you can watch her!" Leversonsaid, and so Sophie was pushed into theroom too. It contained a bed, amattress on tho floor and a couple ofchairs and a table. The windows werebarred, also shuttered, for the housestood where the full fury of the galecould buffet it.
"I knew if I said that ho would makemo stay here," Sophie said. "And yetperhaps it would have been better if 1had stayed outside."
"No, I don't think I could bear to bealone at the moment," Cora said. Forthe first time she broke down, buriedher face in her hands and burst into aflood of tears. Sophie put her armsround her and rocked her to and fro.Then they jumped apart, for footstepswere approaching the room. It wasSlick with a tray which contained somebread and cheese and two- mugs ofcocoa. Very different fare from thatof tho Majestic, but Cora forced herselfto eat. Sho must try and keep up herstrength and spirits.
Her only hope lay in Philip Wendell.And yet perhaps lie had failed at thelast moment. Perhaps the temptationof finding himself suddenly free hadbeen too much for .him, and he hadcallously gone off and left her to herfate. 13ut somehow she did not thinkthat of him.
Cora insisted that they should taketurns with tho bed, and Sophie, topacify her, promised that she wouldsleep on it tho next night. They layawake for a long time listening to thehowling of the wind. Even in mid-summer it was windy here, and now, inearly spring, the house seemed to shakewith every gust.
Then suddenly Sophie sat upright!"Are you awake?" she asked.
"Yes, was that a car?" Cora asked.Wild hope surged into her heart. In
some miraculous way John had trackedher down here. They would be rescued 1
Tliey ran across to the window,which overlooked the front of the house.A big car stood in the drive below;there was the sound of men's voices,which seemed to be raised in anger.
It was Joseph Leverson and liis threemen from the St. Dunstan's Studios.They had had a long and tiring jour-ney, and when Joseph discovered thatFrank had brought Cora with him, hewas furiously angry.
"You must be madl You'll have ihehull of London alter us I We mightha' made a quick getaway, you and i,but now—how can we?"
"You leave it to me! I'm boss here,ain't 1?" Frank Laverson said, but foronce in a way .Joseph would not knuckleunder to his brother
Long into the night they argued,Miss Webb crouched outside the <!j->r,listened, a sense of triumph at herheart. Joseph was urging that Corashould be killed at once, her body ilungover the cliif at high tide, and thenthat the two of them should escape,leaving the rest to their own devices.
"We'll see about that!" PhyllisWebb told herself as she crept up tobed. She knew her own position wasfar from safe, that Frank Leversonwould not hesitate to get rid of her,particularly if he could persuade Corato marry him. "And a girl will doalmost anything to save her life!"Phyllis Webb told herself. If she haddared she would have helped Cora toescape, in order to be rid of her rival,but that would take more pluck thanshe possessed.
In that wind-swept house no one gotmuch sleep that night, except Slick andParkins, who had no fine sensibilitieswhatsoever, and had often found them-selves in worse predicaments than thepresent one.
In the early morning Frank Leversonrose. He went up to the top of thehouse, roused Sophie and Cora, andordered Sophie out of the room. Shedared not stay, and lie shut the doorafter her and locked it.
Cora felt far from brave, but shewould not give liiin the satisfaction ofletting him see how frightened she was.She faced liiin defiantly.
"I suppose .vou realise that you arebreaking the law by keeping me aprisoner against my will?" she asked.
"iN'ix on that!" lie said gruffly, butshe would not be silenced.
"Do you think my friends will sitdown quietly and do nothing aboutit?" she asked, "You'll find the Eng-lish police are not so easy to handleas the American."
"What do you mean by that?" heasked suddenly.
"I believe that yon are the head ofone of the American gangs."
"Wendell's been talking!" he ex-claimed w.ldly. "I'll get even withhim and with you too, come to that!"
"Wendell did not toll me; 1 guessedit for myself," she said. "Now, whatdo you want of me? 1 suppose you arekeeping mo as a hostage lor your ownsafety?"
"Yep," he answered."Well, I don't see how you can keep
me for ever. Where are you going toget the money from, in the first place?We can't go on living here indefinitely."
"I could ha' told you that!" he an-swered. "We're going to keep youhero until I can bring you round to myway o' thinking. My brother hasJirrived. He came here last night,bringing other men with him," headded, to show her how hopeless herposition was.
So that was tho party that hadarrived in the middle of the night.
"Listen. Cora, f want you to be rea-sonable! You don't know what I've putup with from Joseph, on account o'yon!"
She kept up her attitude of prouddisdain, but to every word that hosaid she listened most intently.
"1 wrote a letter to Uareourt. Itwas delivered to him this mornin' at aquarter to 10. I warned him that if heset the police on my track, it 'd bo theworse for yon."
Suddenly ho rose to his feet. Hohurried to the door. Thero was ascurrying of feet along the passage.
"You, Webb, nt your spying!" heshouted. He was in a ferocious temper,and, much as she disliked Miss Webb,Cora trembled to think what mighthappen to her. He slammed the door be-hind him, turning the key in the lock.

AMAZING STORY OF INTRIGUE, LOVE AND ADVENTURE
Cora hoard bumping sounds, then ascream, then silence. Her heart stoodstill. She rose to her feet and went tothe door. She took hold of the handleand rattled at it frantically. Had hemurdered Miss Webb? Panic came toher. She shouted aloud, and then sheheard the sound of his footsteps oncemore.
With a supreme effort she pulledherself together. Sho sat upright onthe edge of her chair.
"The spying beast! I'll teach her!"he snarled." What have j'oa done to her?" Cora
demanded." What's that to you ? You mind your
own troubles; you gotta enough com-ing to you."
Cora could well imagine this." If only you'll be reasonable, no
harm'll come to you. My brother Josephis mad because 1 brought you here. He'smadder still to know that, havingbrought you here, you're still alive."
He saw the colour slowly ebb lrom hercheeks. " He believes in the old sayingthat 'dead men tell no tales.' " he said.
He rose and went to tho window. " 1chose this spot because I guess it'spretty wild; no one comes here . . .
when the tide is high, it washes rightup the cliff. No ono need ever know ifsomeone was pushed over tho top onsome dark night."
He talked casually. She recoiled fromhim in horror.
" That is what Joseph says, and Idunno that I don't agree. Joseph isn'tswell, but he does sometimes get a goodidea in his head," he added admiringly.
Ho was taunting her, trying to breakdown her nerve, but she would not giveway to him.
" Guess you don't like this kindatalk, but there's no need for you tolisten to it. You've only to say theword and you're free. Listen —you andI could do a lot together. You're clever.Gee! You nearly beat me—but notquite. Still, you came near to it!"
"What arc you hinting at?" sheasked. " Why don't you speak plainly?"
"I'll speak plainly!" he said." Waal, my brother is goin' to get holdof a fast motor-boat. We're goin' to hopit across to France.""You'd never do it!" sho said." We've gotta risk it! You're comin'
with us."" No!" she said firmly. " I wonr t do
that. And you can't force mo."" We'll see whether we can or not!"
he said threateningly. " When we getto France you're goin' to marry me!"
"Never! I'd rather die first!" sheexclaimed." Guess you're right there—either
you.come with us and we get married—-or we leave you behind here—dead! Wohaven't got time to waste. Withintwenty-four hours you've gotta make upyour mind one way or the other!"
CHAPTER XIXAs the hours passed and nothing de-
finite materialised, John felt that hewould go mad soon. All their efforts toget further news out of Mrs. Bassetthad failed and the detectives hadnothing to report beyond the garage onthe Great West .Road." But surely someone has seen that
car?" John asked Dowring. "They'vegot the number; it should be easy en-ough to trace.""You don't think they'd keep to the
same number?" Dowring asked. "Cometo. that they might not even keep thesame car. J know what you are feeling,Mr. Hareourt, but believe me we aremoving heaven and earth to round upthis gang."
They had traced the second car alsoon to the Great West Road, and at mid-day a report came from Reading tosay that it had passed through thattown, going at a great speed in awesterly direction.
Fairhaven and Mrytle did all theycould to help him. "Directly we getany news at all, John, we'll start off.I'll telephone Heston to tell them tohave a fast aeroplane standing by, alltuned up," Fairhaven said.
They were in John's flat now. Vainlythey tried to persuade him to eat some-thing. lie would do nothing but paceup and down
"1 can't think where Wendell is!"John said. " I am afraid he cut andrun, the coward 1"
" No, ] don't think he'd do that,"Myrtle said. " I think he was a de-cent chap. I pin my hopes on him,reallv ] do."
" And I think she's right!" Fair-haven answered.
As if in answer to their conversation,the telephone hell rang. John picked upthe receiver eagerly. "What? Oh!Thank God! You, Wendell, where aroyou? In Cornwall—where?"

WOMAN AVIATOR
AIR TAXI SERVICE
ENTERPRISE IN SYDNEY
[from oub own correspondent]SYDNEY. Oct. 8
Holding A and B pilot certificates, anaircraft engineer's certificate and oneof the rare certificates for proficiencyin welding and metallurgical know-ledge, Miss May Bradford has com-menced an air-taxi service. Sho is thesecond Sydney woman to engage in thebusiness. The other is Miss Nancy Bird,who assists the Far West CrippledChildren's Health scheme.
There is no work that men do thatwomen cannot do as well, if not better,if they only apply themselves to it,according to Miss Bradford. " Theymake jokes about women drivers, but1 have not heard one yet about womenpilots," she said, "for records showthat women in tho air are very care-ful; possibly moro careful than men.Women havo only to set their mindsto do something and stick to it, andthey will find that they will bo abloto do things just as well as men."
Woman-like, she spent a lot of timein choosing a colour scheme for hernew aeroplane, a low-wing monoplane,which sho will fly anywhere, any time,on her taxi service. Sho finally chosered, black and gold, and, having hadthe machino painted with a new enamelpaint possessing an extra fine finishthat gives a mirror-like surface, she isnow satisfied it is tho smartest-lookingaeroplane at the Sydney airport.
The machine has been called tlioEagle, and on each side of the enginecowl lias been painted a golden eagle.It will carry two passengers and willfl.v at a top speed of 150 miles an hour.If anything should go wrong with theEagle, Miss Bradford will do her ownrepairs.
Before she entered aviation, MissBradford was an export dealer in gems,and in her leisure was a championequestrienne, winning the highest hon-ours for show-ring riding, hunting, andbuckjumping. Since aviation capturedher, she has worked in the workshopsand hangars at the Sydney airport.Working a man's hours in men's over-alls, she has welded broken cylinders,made manifolds for big Fokkers,learned aeroplane rigging and construc-tion, and in the meantime lias flown.She has been specially praised by theCivil Aviation Department for herblind flying.
